Martin Harold Griffin, 47, was killed on the near southeast side of Indianapolis on the evening of October 14, 2021. Officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department responded to a report of a person shot at a residence in the 2400 block of St. Paul Street. Griffin was found suffering what appeared to be a shotgun wound, taken to a local hospital, and later pronounced dead. The Marion County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Detectives executed a search warrant at the home and recovered a camera from the room of a man named Kyle Roberts. The recorded footage reportedly captured Roberts retrieving a sub-compact machine gun, arguing with someone off-camera, returning to get a shotgun, and a single fatal shot being heard; the video ends with Roberts saying he had shot Griffin. The investigation treats the shooting as arising from an escalation of a dispute.

Anyone who knew Martin Griffin or who has information about the events at the St. Paul Street residence on October 14, 2021, is asked to come forward.
