Tre’ron Lee Pippins-Austin was 22 when he was shot and killed the morning of June 7, 2021, at Beechwood Gardens Apartments on the northeast side of Indianapolis. Officers and first responders found him with apparent gunshot wounds shortly before noon; he died from those injuries.

His death followed another fatal shooting at the same complex nine months earlier, in September 2020, when John Davis Jr. was killed, a detail that amplified residents’ concerns about safety at Beechwood Gardens. Family and community members held vigils and organized online fundraisers after Pippins-Austin’s death.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers.
