Gerald Antonio Beamon was 18 when he was reported missing in March 2019. Two days later, on April 1, 2019, his body was found face down inside a vacant apartment on North Ruckle Street in Indianapolis, with multiple shell casings around him.

Investigators say Beamon had gone to the apartment with a high school friend and coworker, Ron-Ricco Duncan. Witnesses heard gunfire about thirty minutes after the two were last seen together. Social media messages recovered during the inquiry show the men planned to rob a marijuana dealer, and Duncan allegedly told Beamon to bring a firearm. The intended victim was not charged after authorities determined he acted in self-defense.

Duncan gave varying accounts to police and later admitted involvement in arranging the robbery that led to Beamon’s death. He was arrested on felony murder and attempted armed robbery charges; a court later found him guilty and he received a long prison term. Does anyone have information about Beamon’s movements in Indianapolis in late March 2019 or about the vacant apartment on North Ruckle Street?
