Eric Lamont Averitte, 46, was found dead in the front yard of a home on the 2800 block of Stuart Street in Indianapolis on the morning of July 26, 2018. Responders had been called to the area for reports of shots fired around 3:30 a.m., but poor visibility prevented officers from locating a victim then. A resident discovered Averitte after daylight and medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

The Marion County Coroner ruled the death a homicide from gunshot wounds. If anyone in the community heard or saw anything that morning or knows more about what happened, please come forward with information.
