David Hassan Evans was 14 when he was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Indianapolis in the early hours of May 23, 2020. He was walking a friend home with two other teenagers, 13-year-old Tyjiana Velez and 15-year-old Kierra Brown, when a vehicle struck all three on the shoulder of Kessler Boulevard North Drive near Nobscot Drive at about 1:20 a.m.

Witnesses described two vehicles—a Chevrolet Tahoe and another car—racing at high speeds and weaving through traffic. Estimates put their speeds near 100 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone. Vehicle data recorders later showed Willis driving at 91 mph and Link at 71 mph just before the collision. Police said both speed and driver impairment were factors.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police arrested 49-year-old Okadema Link and 24-year-old Shantiana Willis. Link later admitted his Tahoe struck the teens. Prosecutors charged both with three counts of reckless homicide and causing death when operating a vehicle while intoxicated; Link was also charged with three counts of leaving the scene.

Did anyone in the area witness the vehicles or the crash who has not yet spoken to investigators?
