Earl M. Whitney was shot and killed on March 8, 2018, on Indianapolis’ near east side. He was 36 years old when the gunfire claimed his life; police described the death as a result of gun violence. A celebration of his life was held later that month.

More than three weeks after the shooting, Metro Police arrested a suspect identified as Dewayne Sims in connection with Whitney’s murder. At the time of the arrest Sims was also accused of driving drunk, resisting law enforcement, and carrying a handgun without a license, in addition to the murder charge.

Was anyone in the neighborhood near North Tacoma Avenue and East Michigan Street that day able to see or hear anything that could help the investigation?
