On May 8, 2021, officers on routine patrol in the 2100 block of East Hanna Avenue on Indianapolis’ south side found a parked vehicle about 12:30 a.m. Inside was 44-year-old Aurelio Rosas, unresponsive and later determined to have sustained apparent gunshot wounds. Emergency personnel pronounced Rosas dead shortly after arriving.

The scene, variously described as Southside Park or a park on the city’s south side, was processed by detectives and forensic teams while the Marion County Coroner’s Office took responsibility for determining the official cause and manner of death. Police issued a public appeal for information, but reports available now list no arrests or identified motive.

If anyone was in that park or the 2100 block of East Hanna Avenue around midnight on May 8, 2021, or has information about the vehicle or events that night, please come forward to investigators.
