Luke Ronald Poindexter was 22 when he was fatally shot while working as a delivery driver on the northwest side of Indianapolis on Sunday, October 24, 2021. He was found by police at an apartment complex with multiple gunshot wounds; his car was still running and the trunk was open, and he was unarmed at the time of the shooting.

A Columbus East High School graduate and three-sport athlete, Poindexter was a full-time Ivy Tech student making the dean’s list while studying industrial technology and welding. He had been working in Indianapolis for about a week to earn more money; he and his partner, Alexia, were expecting their first child in early December. That son, named Gunner, was born the following month.

No arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified. The family and community have organized fundraisers to support Poindexter’s son. If anyone has information about what happened to Luke on October 24, 2021, please come forward.
