Ezekiel Summers, known as Zeke, was 19 when he was fatally shot on the night of April 6, 2019, on a sidewalk at the Kingston Square apartments on Indianapolis’ northeast side. A Howard County resident who was enrolled at the Indianapolis XL Center, he had gone to the complex after being asked by a friend to bring Karo syrup for a two-week-old baby the friend said might be his son. His mother, Tashawnna Summers, says she advised waiting for a DNA test but that Ezekiel went anyway because he wanted to help, and she believes he was lured to the apartment by people he trusted.

The young woman at the apartment later told Ezekiel’s mother someone forced their way into the residence, and she grabbed her son and ran upstairs. Investigators have described the motive as unclear. Summers’ killing was one of six homicides in Indianapolis during a violent 24-hour span; all remained unsolved at the time and no suspects or arrests have been announced. The family continues to ask for anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in the Kingston Square area on April 6, 2019, see or hear anything that could help Ezekiel’s family and investigators?
