On the evening of December 5, 2019, 27-year-old Dewitt Dupree was found with gunshot wounds in the 4800 block of East 19th Street on Indianapolis’ east side. Paramedics took him to a nearby hospital, but he later died of his injuries. The shooting was one of several homicides that year handled by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

Hours before the shooting Dupree spent a joyful day with his mother, Shelida Deloney; family members later set up a makeshift memorial at the scene with photos, candles, and balloons. His mother has shared childhood photos and urged anyone with information to come forward, saying she believes people in the community know who is responsible. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the investigation remains open.

If anyone knew Dewitt, was in the area that night, or has information that could help, please share what you know with investigators.
