On the night of December 19, 2018, gunfire was reported just before midnight on the northeast side of Indianapolis near the 3100 block of North Riley Avenue by East 32nd Street and Emerson Avenue. Officers already in the area found a vehicle containing two unresponsive men who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Both 25-year-old Johnny Coleman, a Black male, and 25-year-old Charles Lemon were pronounced dead at the scene by the Marion County Coroner’s Office.

The deaths were ruled a double homicide. Detectives were not able to identify a motive or name any suspects, and no arrests have been reported. The case remains unsolved with investigators unable to determine who fired the fatal shots into the vehicle that night.

If anyone knew Johnny Coleman or Charles Lemon, saw activity in that neighborhood the night of December 19, 2018, or has information that could help, please come forward.
