Brandon Riggs was 36 and described by family and friends as spirited, family-oriented and the glue of his household. Born in Charleston, Missouri, he moved to Indianapolis in 2008 with his fiancée and children, worked at a local Applebee’s and flipped houses; those close to him remembered his smile, love of fishing and devotion to his children.

On the afternoon of November 12, 2019, officers responded about 4:19 p.m. to a residence in the 2400 block of North Rural Street on Indianapolis’ east side. First responders found Riggs and 25-year-old Natasha Jones down inside the home; both suffered fatal gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene. Homicide detectives canvassed the area and asked the public for tips, but no suspects were publicly identified and no arrests had been made as the investigation continued.

If anyone knew Brandon, Natasha, their routines or who might have been at that Rural Street residence that afternoon, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
