Michael Scott, a 43-year-old African-American man, was fatally shot on the evening of August 27, 2017, in the 3400 block of West Vermont Street in Indianapolis. The circumstances leading to the shooting are unclear and his killing became one of many unsolved homicides during a year when the city recorded its highest number of killings.

As of the end of 2017, a significant percentage of Indianapolis homicides that year had undetermined motives and unclear relationships between victims and assailants. Michael Scott’s case has remained open but unsolved; investigators have not publicly identified suspects or made arrests in connection with his death.

If anyone knew Michael Scott, was in the 3400 block of West Vermont Street on August 27, 2017, or has information about that evening, please come forward to help provide answers for his family.
