Angel Z Mejia-Alfaro, 17, was killed in a shooting just after midnight on May 6, 2017, in the parking lot of a shopping center near the 5600 block of West 38th Street, by the intersection of 38th Street and Moller Road on Indianapolis’ northwest side. Officers found three shooting victims; Mejia-Alfaro was pronounced dead at the scene and two others were taken to hospitals with serious injuries. Investigators said the violence began with an argument over shoes that escalated into gunfire.

Police circulated images of two persons of interest last seen running west then south around the west end of the strip mall. One was described as a Hispanic male with dark hair wearing a white hoodie and a blue coat with white stripes, black pants and black-and-white flip-flops. The other was described as a male possibly Hispanic wearing a dark blue or black GAP hoodie, a red shirt, black pants and black-and-white sneakers. A vigil was held and the community called for accountability; police asked the public for tips. If anyone has information about that night or about the persons of interest, please share what is known with investigators.
