On the west side of Indianapolis, Kenneth Kenny Batts Jr., 28, was found dead inside a car on December 12, 2020, in the 6300 block of Maidstone Road near West 46th Street and North High School Road. Officers responding to reports of gunfire discovered that Batts had sustained a gunshot wound to the head.

Batts was born June 30, 1992, and is remembered as energetic and outgoing, a former varsity basketball player at The Metropolitan High School and a father to three children: Kenneth LaMont Batts III, KaNiyah LaShae Batts, and King Li’Rico Batts. His mother is Nicole Batts Alvis.

Investigators focused on one suspect after reviewing security footage that captured both men arriving at the scene and showed the other man approaching Batts’s vehicle with a firearm before a brief altercation and the shooting.
