Ashley Bell, 32, also known by the last name Davis, was killed on the afternoon of January 12, 2021, in Indianapolis. Around 2:35 p.m., officers responded to a shooting at a home in the 3900 block of Boulevard Place and found her with multiple gunshot wounds. Paramedics took her to a hospital, where she later died; an autopsy recorded at least three gunshot wounds.

Investigators treated the case as domestic violence. Police records indicate suspicion focused on Ashley’s husband, 35-year-old Carl E. Davis, and they say he shot her during an argument. The couple had a documented history of domestic incidents, including a November 2020 charge against Davis for domestic battery and intimidation after an alleged biting incident.

A few days after the shooting, police arrested Carl Davis and charged him with multiple offenses related to the killing. If anyone knew Ashley or observed activity near Boulevard Place on January 12, 2021, please share what you know.
