Joan Darlene Berry, 41, was left at a local Indianapolis hospital with a gunshot wound on the evening of April 21, 2021, and died of her injuries. Investigators established that she had been shot and then driven to the hospital; subsequent accounts say the vehicle ran over her arm and leg as it departed the scene where she was left.

Information developed identifying Gary Jackson Jr. as a person involved in the incident, and legal proceedings were opened to determine responsibility for Berry’s death. During the trial, eyewitness testimony and other evidence were presented to reconstruct the timeline and to support the prosecution’s case that Jackson was responsible for the shooting.

The family and community followed the trial closely as the court examined the evidence and sought to establish legal accountability for this violent, fatal episode. If anyone knew Joan or has information about what happened that night, please share details with investigators.
