Xavier Ines Weir was 16 and a sophomore at Scecina Memorial High School when he was shot in the early morning hours of April 7, 2019, in the 400 block of Grovewood Drive in Beech Grove, Indiana. Surveillance video reportedly shows gunmen firing on his vehicle, which crashed into a ditch and then caught fire; officers pulled him from the burning car. He was taken to a hospital and died the next day, April 8, 2019. An autopsy found a gunshot through his right shoulder and another to his brain.

Investigators identified two suspects: 16-year-old Isaiha Funez and 26-year-old German Parra, then an active duty U.S. Army military police sergeant. Funez was arrested April 11, 2019; Parra was taken into custody in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, on April 23, 2019. Authorities said the shooting was believed to be retaliation for an earlier robbery allegedly committed by Weir against Funez’s brother, and Funez had said Weir had been threatening him.

Weir’s family arranged organ donation; his organs saved seven people. If anyone knew Xavier, the circumstances around his death, or has information that could help, please share what is known.
