Walter Benyon was 25 when he was found shot to death inside his townhome at the Hawthorne Place apartment complex on Indianapolis’ east side during the early hours of a December morning in 2017. Family members discovered him and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Marion County Coroner later ruled his death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds.

There were no signs of forced entry into the residence, and detectives noted that could mean Benyon knew his attacker or that someone entered without a struggle. At the time investigators had not identified a suspect or a motive, and there have been no public reports of arrests or suspect identifications since. The investigation remains open.

If anyone knew Walter, saw activity at Hawthorne Place that night, or has information that could help the case, please come forward to investigators.
