Joseph Bernard Simmons II was 22 when he was shot to death on Churchill Court in Indianapolis. He was found early on June 7, 2021, after gunfire erupted during a house party where roughly 50 to 100 people were present. A disturbance broke out just before 1 a.m., and police discovered Simmons on the ground with fatal gunshot wounds.

Despite the large crowd and many people leaving the house after the shooting, investigators had little information about what led to the violence or who fired the shots. No arrests had been announced as of the initial investigation. Simmons was the son of a man who served the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department for 32 years; family members describe him as a young man with a contagious smile.

Who was at the party that night and who has information about what happened?
