Derann Alfonzo, a 60-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on November 27, 2016, near 30th Street and Eastern Avenue in Indianapolis. First responders found him in the 2900 block of Eastern Avenue; he died of his injuries at the scene. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation and canvassed the neighborhood for witnesses and evidence, but investigators were unable to establish a clear narrative or motive during the initial inquiry.

The case was later documented by cold-case organizations, and no suspects have been publicly identified or arrested. The police file lists the offender as unknown and no charges have ever been filed. Survived by his mother, Helen Lane, Alfonzo’s family has received no public resolution; his sister Juman Carol Alfonzo Irby had died three years earlier. Anyone with information about what happened that night is asked to contact the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
