A resident returning home in the early hours of October 17, 2018, found 28-year-old Mark Stokes inside a residence near 36th and Rural streets on Indianapolis’s east side. Officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department arrived at the scene about 4 a.m.; the Marion County Coroner’s Office later ruled Stokes’s death a homicide. Stokes, born in 1989, was a father and was known to some by the nickname 2 MoneyStokes. He was a resident of Indianapolis and is survived by his parents and siblings.

The investigation remains open and authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward. If anyone knew Mark, saw activity in that neighborhood on the morning of October 17, 2018, or has information that could help, please share what is known with investigators.
