Marysa Collins was 19 when she was fatally shot while sitting in her car on the northeast side of Indianapolis on November 22, 2020. The shooting occurred in the 3900 block of Downes Drive; emergency services responded but her injuries proved fatal.

A recent Mt. Vernon High School graduate, Marysa was enrolled at Ivy Tech Community College studying nursing and worked as a certified nursing assistant. Her family describes her as compassionate and determined; she mentored children with special needs and hoped to become a neonatal nurse.

No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. The parents have publicly pushed for answers and Marysa’s mother has raised concerns about the investigation and management of potential evidence.

If anyone has information about Marysa’s death or was in the 3900 block of Downes Drive on November 22, 2020, please come forward.
