On the morning of August 7, 2020, 22-year-old Deion Matthews was shot in the 1000 block of Hosbrook Street on Indianapolis’ east side. Officers arrived after a report of a shooting at about 11:20 a.m. and found Matthews with gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and later died; the Marion County Coroner’s Office confirmed his identity and cause of death.

Investigators noted Matthews had been released from prison seven weeks earlier after serving time for a prior shooting incident, a detail detectives examined while probing possible links between his past and this killing. Despite public appeals, no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone has information about that August morning or knew Deion’s movements in the weeks after his release, contact the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Homicide Office or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana.
