James Greenberg, 35, was shot and killed on the evening of January 3, 2021, after leaving a friend’s home in the 2000 block of Coil Street on Indianapolis’ northwest side. Police responding to reports of a person shot found Greenberg in the street with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead shortly after officers arrived. Witnesses heard several gunshots and reported a gray vehicle speeding away from the scene.

Investigators say jealousy led to a set-up. William Ballard, 31, allegedly became enraged over communications between his girlfriend and Greenberg, seized the girlfriend’s phone and sent texts arranging a meeting. Greenberg reportedly went to the arranged location and was met by Ballard, who then shot him multiple times before fleeing. Officers later arrested Ballard; the weapon used in the killing was recovered during a search of his home.

Does anyone have information about sightings of a gray vehicle leaving the 2000 block of Coil Street that night or other details that could help complete the timeline?
