In the fall of 2021, 25-year-old Monesha McKinley, a home healthcare worker and mother of three, was found dead in her Indianapolis home on North Rural Street. Family members reported her missing and filed a report on Wednesday, October 13, 2021 after they could not reach her. A preliminary search that day turned up no sign of her whereabouts.

On Sunday, October 17, 2021 the family returned to the residence and found McKinley’s body. The Marion County Coroner’s Office determined she had been fatally shot, and investigators reclassified the matter as a homicide. Several valuables were missing from the home, including her SUV, and the family said they received online threats from people they believed might be connected to the case.

No arrests or suspects have been publicly announced and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is seeking tips. If anyone has information about Monesha, her missing SUV, or the events of October 2021, please come forward.
