DeShawn Jefferson was 22 when he was shot and killed on the evening of May 8, 2019, outside a Family Dollar at East New York Street and North Denny Street on Indianapolis’s east side. Reports say a dispute involving at least four people escalated into multiple gunshots; Jefferson suffered several gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The family’s loss followed other recent shootings in their circle: an 18-year-old relative, Conway Jefferson, had been killed in March 2019, and the uncle, Pastor Derek Jefferson, had previously lost multiple family members to gun violence. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department opened an investigation but, despite public appeals, no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. Officials cite a lack of witnesses willing to provide information.

Does anyone who was in that area on the evening of May 8, 2019, or who knew DeShawn, have information that could help the investigation?
