A family dispute in an Indianapolis apartment on December 9, 2021, ended in deadly violence. Thirty-four-year-old Jeffrey Venerable was shot inside the residence on the city’s west side, taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition, and later died of his wounds. An adult female identified as his mother was also shot and listed in serious condition.

In the immediate aftermath, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police arrested Jeffrey’s 22-year-old sister, Aniyah Venerable, and charged her preliminarily with murder and battery with a deadly weapon. The case was referred to the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office for review to determine final charges.

Anyone who was in that neighborhood or knew the family and can shed light on what happened that night is asked to come forward with information.
