Juwan-Howard Smith was 16 when he was shot and killed in Indianapolis on the evening of October 8, 2018. A student at Southport High School, his family described him as a good student, an athlete and a protective older brother to three siblings. The shooting occurred around 8:10 p.m. in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 900 block of Lake Nora Court South on the city’s far north side.

A passing Hamilton County medic found Smith and took him to St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital, where he later died of his wounds. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but the motive and exact circumstances remain unclear. No arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced and the family says they do not know why he was in that part of the city.

Did anyone in the area on October 8, 2018 see anything or have information that could help bring answers in this case?
