On the evening of February 12, 2020, a burst of gunfire in a northeast-side Indianapolis apartment complex left 27-year-old Larez Montae Brown mortally wounded. The shooting happened shortly before 7:30 p.m. in the 10100 block of Ellis Drive. Brown was taken to a nearby hospital but died of a gunshot wound, according to the Marion County Coroner’s Office.

Investigators searched the scene and interviewed potential witnesses but did not publicly identify a motive or any suspects in the immediate aftermath. The shooting occurred about a week after a separate incident in the same complex that killed four people, although authorities did not immediately link the two events. No arrest or suspect identification has been announced and the case remains unresolved.

If anyone knew Larez, saw activity near the 10100 block of Ellis Drive that evening, or has information that could help, please share what is known with investigators.
