Monica Pirtle was 35 when she was shot and killed outside her Indianapolis home on July 16, 2018, the night before she would have turned 36. She had just returned from a movie with the father of her youngest child; they sat in a car on Crabtree Court when an assailant opened fire. The companion was wounded and survived. Inside the house, Monica’s three daughters were waiting for her return.

Family members describe Monica as a vibrant artist and the life of the party, and they do not believe she was the intended target. The shooting compounded the family’s grief—Monica’s mother had already lost another child to gun violence. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced, and the case has since gone cold despite vigils and the family’s continued appeals for information.

Does anyone who lived near Crabtree Court in July 2018 or who knew Monica have information that could help move this case forward?
