On the evening of November 4, 2017, 29-year-old Tarial R. Moncrief, a Black male, was found in the 1600 block of Nelson Avenue on Indianapolis’ southeast side suffering from gunshot wounds. First responders attempted life-saving measures but Moncrief died; the Marion County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department detectives canvassed the neighborhood and investigated, but initial inquiries produced limited leads and no identified suspect. Police reports from the period say the motive was unknown.

If anyone knew Tarial, saw activity on Nelson Avenue that evening, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
