Chad Smitherman, 20, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of February 14, 2020, in the 3600 block of Hemlock Avenue near the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis. After being struck multiple times, he was able to walk to the GetGo gas station at East 38th Street and Fall Creek Parkway, where someone called emergency services just after 6:30 a.m. He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and later died of his injuries.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department investigated the scene and collected evidence, but public details about how the shooting began remain limited. No suspects or motive have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been announced. Chad’s mother, Lisa Smitherman, has spoken publicly about her grief and frustration, saying the family believes a weapon was recovered and that a suspect sent Chad a text the family views as a confession.
