George Stanley Oakley was 70 when he was shot and killed at a home in the 11000 block of High Grass Drive in Indianapolis on January 15, 2021. A Marine Corps veteran and long-time Jenn-Air employee, he lived with a caretaker and enjoyed time with his daughter and grandchildren. He was born April 13, 1950, in Indianapolis and graduated from Arsenal Technical High School in 1968.

Officers from the Lawrence Police Department arrived after reports of a shooting and found Oakley with multiple gunshot wounds; he later died of his injuries. Witnesses at the scene identified the shooter as a relative known to the family, who had been staying in the residence’s basement and had an argument before going upstairs and into Oakley’s bedroom.

Whoever knew Oakley or the household and has information about the events that night is asked to come forward.
