Michael T. Parker, 39, was shot and killed in the early morning of June 7, 2020, at the Circle S gas station on North Walnut Street in Bloomington, Indiana. Police were sent to the scene at about 2:11 a.m. after a report of a person being shot and found Parker in the passenger seat of a vehicle with a gunshot wound to his neck; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators identified De Juan Lamar Kelley as a suspect and an arrest warrant charged him with murder and carrying a handgun without a license; authorities warned Kelley should be considered armed and dangerous. After a tip, Kelley was located and arrested on July 28, 2020, in Kansas City, Missouri, by the Kansas City Police Department Fugitive Task Force following a brief attempt to flee. He was held in the Jackson County Jail and faced murder, attempted murder and handgun violation charges.

The case underscored concerns about gun violence in the community. If anyone witnessed activity at the Circle S that morning or has other information about the shooting, please share it with investigators.
