On September 29, 2018, officers responded to the 10200 block of Penrith Drive at the Huntington Heights condominiums in Indianapolis after neighbors reported a heated argument outside. When first responders arrived, 56-year-old LaDarrell Mix, a Black man, had been shot. He was transported to Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital, but the wound proved fatal.

Investigators initially treated the scene as a domestic-violence killing, focusing on the public argument witnesses said had been unfolding just before the shooting. Detectives quickly identified a suspect, and the next day Darrail Mix, described as Mix’s son, turned himself in and was taken into custody on a preliminary charge of murder.

The case stemmed from a family confrontation that escalated to gunfire on a sidewalk outside the condominiums. If anyone saw the argument that afternoon or has information about what led to the shooting, please share what is known.
