Braxton Ford was 21 when he was one of four people found shot to death inside an Indianapolis apartment on February 5, 2020. The other victims were Kimari Hunt, 21, Jalen Roberts, 19, and Marcel Wills, 20. Autopsies confirmed all four sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
Officers described the scene as ransacked, and investigators say the killings appeared linked to a targeted robbery; items were reportedly taken from the apartment. Surveillance footage from the complex shows three people entering the residence and later fleeing in a car allegedly driven by Rodreice Anderson, and a witness identified three suspects to police.
Within weeks authorities arrested four suspects: Cameron Banks, 19, his 17-year-old brother Desmond Banks, Lasean Watkins, 19, and Rodreice Anderson, 19. Charges announced included multiple counts of murder, felony murder, and robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, and prosecutors were treating the 17-year-old as an adult.
If anyone knew Braxton, the other victims, or saw activity near the apartment that night, please come forward with information.
