On October 12, 2021, 18-year-old Jahnaya Bakare was found with a gunshot wound in the 2100 block of Wheatgrass Way on Indianapolis’ north side, near East 71st Street and Harcourt Road. The shooting occurred at about 11:30 p.m.; emergency crews took her to a nearby hospital but she died of her injuries. Her death was one of two fatal shootings in that area the same night.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation and asked the public for help, noting that nearby surveillance footage might provide leads. Authorities have not released a motive or identified any person of interest, and no arrests have been announced. The community and Bakare’s family were left to grieve her loss.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or anyone with surveillance from that night see or record anything that could help investigators?
