David Simmie Gibbs Jr., 25, was killed in a targeted shooting on January 22, 2019, on the northwest side of Indianapolis near West 86th Street and Ditch Road. As the vehicle he was driving moved through traffic, occupants of another car opened fire in what investigators called a calculated ambush. Gibbs was able to drive to St. Vincent Hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Two passengers, 31-year-old Ryan Pedtke and 31-year-old Billy Landrum, were also shot; one was treated and released and the other remained hospitalized in stable condition. Detectives described the attack as tit-for-tat retaliation and linked Gibbs and one passenger to a 2016 investigation into the Gett Money Gang and prior neighborhood violence. No arrests had been announced and the case was listed as unsolved; police sought surveillance footage from nearby businesses, including a Village Pantry, and appealed to the public for information.

Did anyone in the area see suspicious vehicles or activity that morning near West 86th and Ditch Road?
