On January 7, 2018, 81-year-old Gene Thompson was shot at his Beech Grove, Indiana, home and later died while being transported to a hospital. Thompson had been resting in a hospital bed set up in his living room when three intruders entered the house intending to commit a robbery. During the incident, 51-year-old Larry Pavey was shot multiple times; as Pavey fled through the home, the shooter continued firing and one of the bullets struck Thompson in the chest.

Authorities later identified 17-year-old Corbin Page as the shooter; two other juveniles who accompanied him were charged with false informing. The firearm used in Thompson’s killing was recovered and linked through forensic analysis to another crime attributed to Page. The investigation by the Grant County Sheriff’s Office and the Indiana State Police Lab also contributed to solving additional open cases and led to at least ten more arrests.

Did anyone in Beech Grove have contact with Thompson or his household around January 7, 2018, who might have information about the intruders?
