Late on August 17, 2020, a shooting in a quiet New Albany, Indiana neighborhood ended the life of 34-year-old Dale C. Baize. Officers called to the 800 block of West 7th Street around 10 p.m. found Baize, a man from Louisville, Kentucky, dead on the sidewalk with a fatal gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The New Albany Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit opened a homicide investigation and within hours identified and arrested 23-year-old Jacob B. Rogers of New Albany. Rogers was charged preliminarily with murder, held on a $100,000 full cash bond, and had a court date set for August 20, 2020. Investigators reported that a disturbance had occurred before the shooting.

Does anyone in the area have information about the disturbance that preceded the shooting or about Baize’s activities that night?
