Walter Tony Stein Jr. was 30 when he was fatally shot outside a Marathon gas station on Indianapolis’s northwest side on the evening of October 22, 2020. First responders found Stein with multiple gunshot wounds and he was transported to IU Health Methodist Hospital in critical condition; he died shortly after arrival. The shooting reportedly grew out of a gambling dispute; Stein had been running a raffle-ticket style game in the gas station parking lot and a participant lost more than $1,000, leading to a confrontation.

Witnesses said the participant had made threats in the hours before the shooting, and surveillance footage placed him at the scene. Investigators recovered three FN 5.7x28mm fired cartridge casings at the scene and a tip of a 5.7 bullet was found in Stein’s body during autopsy. Searches of the suspect’s vehicle and a residence yielded firearms and ammunition linked to those casings, and detectives developed additional evidence during a months-long investigation.

Does anyone have information about Stein’s activities at that gas station or remember the raffle-style game run in the parking lot?
