On the night of August 29, 2020, in Indianapolis, 21-year-old Kailene Munns-Lawrence was sitting in the front seat of her Toyota on the 3200 block of North Drexel Avenue, focused on doing her makeup, when a gunshot struck her. Police were dispatched just before 9:30 p.m.; paramedics took her to the hospital in critical condition and she died shortly before 12:30 a.m. The shooting happened in a residential stretch just south of 34th Street, between Sherman Drive and Emerson Avenue.

Early reports did not identify a suspect and police did not disclose who might have been responsible as the investigation began. A man named Marquese Berry was later accused in connection with her death and was released from jail while awaiting trial; on June 24, 2021, he was sentenced to three years in the Indiana Department of Correction, with two years suspended to be served on probation. For family and friends, the ordinary moment of preparing inside a parked car remains the haunting detail.

If anyone knew Kailene, was in that neighborhood that night, or has information about what happened, please share what can help the case.
