Dustin Abel, a 32-year-old White man from Owensburg, Indiana, was shot and killed at a residence on East State Road 58 on May 2, 2019. The Greene County Sheriff’s Office investigated the shooting after a woman at the scene said she had fired the shot in self-defense.

Detectives collected evidence and interviewed witnesses as the prosecutor reviewed the circumstances. The Greene County Prosecutor later determined the woman’s actions were justifiable and announced no criminal charges would be filed. No arrest was made and no suspect was publicly named.

The legal finding closed the investigation, but the loss remained for Abel’s family and friends. Does anyone who knew Dustin or who was in Owensburg that night have information to share?
