On the night of July 25, 2021, 23-year-old Zachary Ray Pettis was fatally shot at a drag racing street takeover in an industrial area near West 76th Street and Moller Road in Indianapolis. Pettis, a father of three who worked as a tow truck driver and security guard and enjoyed motorcycles and racing, was struck in the neck after an altercation began when a car stopped in the raceway and started doing donuts. An occupant of that vehicle fired into the crowd. Pettis’ father drove him to a nearby fire station, but Zachary later died of his wounds.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police recovered shell casings at the scene that matched those used in another crime, but no arrest has been announced. The family has offered a $10,000 reward and continues to hold vigils while urging witnesses to come forward. If anyone was at the West 76th and Moller Road takeover that night or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
