On the evening of January 2, 2025, a sale of a firearm inside a home on Capsella Lane in Indianapolis ended in gunfire. Police say a dispute during the transaction became a physical struggle and shots were fired. Officers arriving shortly before 9 p.m. found three men with gunshot wounds. Twenty-nine-year-old Sebastian Prayer Jones was pronounced dead at the scene; two other men were taken to hospitals in critical condition. Two people who had been in the house escaped through a window and were reported to be cooperating with investigators.

Detectives identified 21-year-old Hayden Dedrick as the suspected shooter and say the disturbance began between Jones and another person inside the residence. Investigators believe Dedrick fired to protect that friend, then left to obtain more ammunition and returned, firing additional shots that struck a third person.
