Oscar Javier Espinoza-Cecillo, 38, was shot and killed on Indianapolis’ northwest side on Saturday, October 24, 2020. First responders found him with injuries consistent with a gunshot wound; the Marion County Coroner later ruled the death a homicide. The shooting was recorded as Indianapolis’ 199th homicide of 2020 and occurred amid a notably violent weekend in the city.

Police investigators from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department opened an investigation, but officials did not release a motive or identify any suspects at the time. Public reports from the period do not show an arrest or charges tied to his death, and arrangements were made to transport his remains to Mexico for burial rather than hold services locally.

If anyone knew Oscar, saw activity on the northwest side of Indianapolis that night, or has information that could help the investigation, please contact the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
