Dustin Denney, 30, was shot and killed on the south side of Indianapolis in the early hours of St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 2018. A carpet care specialist and father, Denney was born December 17, 1987, and attended Beech Grove High School. He enjoyed writing, music, and making people laugh.

Court documents say the shooting began in the 1800 block of Singleton Street during a drug-related dispute. According to those documents, 22-year-old Demontae Adams took marijuana from another man without paying; Denney intervened and demanded payment. Adams allegedly pointed a handgun at the other man and then fired as Denney stepped toward him. Denney was taken to Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital and died about half an hour after the shooting.

Police located Adams the same day using a witness-provided phone number and monitoring his Facebook activity, arresting him at his girlfriend’s house around noon. Adams was charged with murder and armed robbery; the armed robbery count relates to the alleged theft of marijuana at gunpoint. Does anyone have information about Denney, the scene on Singleton Street, or witnesses who haven’t yet spoken to investigators?
