Albert Ford was 50 when he was shot to death on the evening of December 20, 2017, on the 4100 block of Newburgh Drive near East 42nd Street and Mitthoeffer Road in Indianapolis. Police found his body on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds; his death was recorded as Indianapolis’s 151st criminal homicide that year.

Witnesses said the shooting followed a heated argument between Ford and his nephew, Larry Spivey. According to those accounts, Ford began to walk away when Spivey allegedly produced a weapon and shot him in the back. Spivey, then 24, fled the scene and was arrested in Chicago two days later and charged in the killing.

A jury later convicted Spivey of Ford’s murder. If anyone knew Albert Ford or witnessed what happened that night, please share information that might help others understand this case.
