Seventeen-year-old Jack Little Jack Franklin Sumner was shot in Indianapolis and died at Eskenazi Hospital on November 1, 2021. He was at a Speedway on South Keystone Avenue with his half-brother when a dispute over a girl escalated. While his brother was inside the store, gunfire erupted in the parking lot and Sumner was struck.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department arrested a 22-year-old man a few hours after the shooting. Family members said they knew the alleged shooter, and the shooting is being presented as arising from a personal conflict. Further details about the suspect’s identity, the charges, and any court proceedings have not been widely reported.

Jack was a Southport High School student who died just short of his eighteenth birthday and graduation. Does anyone with knowledge of that night or of Jack’s life or school community have information to share?
