In the early morning hours of October 9, 2019, 22-year-old Meliton Salazar was found in critical condition under a bridge near West Washington Street and South White River Parkway Drive in Indianapolis. He was taken to a hospital and died the following day. Investigators say Salazar had been shot with his own gun and beaten with a hammer during a violent encounter that began on the White River Trail.

Police tied four people to the attack. According to the investigation, Salazar met a woman named Jacqueline Lizarraga that day; two men, Fernando Bornstein and another individual, then confronted and assaulted him in what investigators describe as a robbery that turned fatal. Social media messages reportedly connected Lizarraga to the others despite her initial denial of involvement.

Bornstein, Lizarraga, Andy Rosales Orellana and Jayzn Martin were charged in connection with the killing. What additional information can anyone who knew Meliton or who was in the area that night share with investigators?
