On a Saturday night in March 2021, 35-year-old Anthony Johnson II was killed during a mass shooting on North Randolph Street on Indianapolis’ east side. He had been visiting a residence when a domestic dispute between Malik Halfacre and Halfacre’s girlfriend over a stimulus check escalated and Halfacre opened fire. Anthony, described by his wife Gwendolyn as a loving man she met while he volunteered with a youth program at church, was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

Three other people were also killed that night: 44-year-old Tomeeka Brown, 23-year-old Dequan Moore, and 7-year-old Eve Moore. Halfacre’s girlfriend was critically injured. Malik Halfacre fled the scene with his infant daughter but was found the next day hiding in the attic of a friend’s home; the baby was recovered unharmed. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department homicide detectives arrested 25-year-old Halfacre and the Marion County Prosecutor charged him with four counts of murder, attempted murder, armed robbery, and auto theft, and court documents say he admitted to the shootings.

Anthony’s family struggled to cover funeral expenses until a donation eased that burden. Does anyone who knew Anthony or was in that neighborhood that night have information to share?
