Jesse K. Sims was 51 when his body was found on April 30, 2017, on the 3200 block of Clifton Street in Indianapolis. Investigators quickly ruled the death not natural, and an autopsy later confirmed he died of gunshot wounds.

Described by people who knew him as kind and caring, Sims’ killing was unexplained at the time: police had not identified suspects or a clear motive, and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department kept the investigation open. His family and friends were left mourning and seeking answers after a violent death that added to a difficult year for the city.

If anyone has information about Jesse K. Sims, his movements that day, or the area around Clifton Street on April 30, 2017, please come forward.
