Two adults were killed and a third person critically wounded in a shooting at a home in the 3900 block of North Pasadena Street in Indianapolis. Austin Smith, 23, and Melissa Smith, 51, died after a man later identified as Marcus Minor opened fire when a woman arrived at the house with her 2-year-old child and found Minor arguing with Melissa Smith. The child was found unharmed on a bed next to the victims.

A jury in October 2023 convicted Minor of the murder of Melissa Smith and the attempted murder of the surviving woman, but acquitted him of murder in the death of Austin Smith. In March 2024 Minor was sentenced to 95 years in prison; prosecutors said two people lost their lives and another woman was seriously injured. Does anyone have information about the victims’ movements that day or the household at North Pasadena Street?
