Jamarvyan Brewer, 20, was shot and killed on the evening of July 4, 2021, at an apartment complex in Lawrence, a suburb of Indianapolis. Police were called just after 5 p.m. to the 4200 block of Bridle Lane, near 42nd Street and Franklin Road. Brewer was found with at least one gunshot wound and was taken to Eskenazi Hospital, where he died.

Lawrence police initially took a 19-year-old male into custody at the scene but later released him pending further investigation; no name, charges, or conviction have been announced. Authorities described the shooting as an isolated incident rather than a random act.

Brewer’s death came less than three weeks after his cousin, Keleante Brewer, was killed in a separate shooting on Indianapolis’s northeast side. Friends and family remembered Jamarvyan as intelligent and caring, a sports fan who loved video games and had an infectious smile. If anyone knew Jamarvyan or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
