Eric Whitfield, 31, was found dead in his running pickup truck on Herschell Avenue on the evening of April 27, 2020, after police received a report of a person shot in the area at about 9 p.m. He was located roughly two hours later; emergency medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene. The Marion County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Homicide detectives opened an investigation, but investigators did not release information about a possible motive or suspects in the initial reports. By late 2020 no arrests or suspect identifications in Whitfield’s killing had been publicly announced, and the case remained among a number of unsolved homicides from Indianapolis that year.

If anyone has information about Eric Whitfield’s death or can place his movements in the hours before he was found, please come forward and share what is known.
