On the afternoon of September 6, 2021, 17-year-old Ross Anthony Mitchell was shot and killed while playing curb ball with his younger brother near East Ohio Street and North Randolph Street in Indianapolis. Surveillance footage reportedly shows a male wearing a gray hoodie emerge from an alley, hide behind bushes, then open fire; the shooter was seen running from the scene. Ross, a senior at the XL Center, had hoped to join the military after graduation.

Ross’s family describe him as charming, funny, and big-hearted. They have made repeated public pleas for information, worked to keep his memory alive, and increased a reward for tips that could lead to an arrest.

If anyone has information about that afternoon or recognizes the person in the footage, please come forward to help Ross’s family find justice.
