On the afternoon of July 28, 2016, around 1:50 p.m., 24-year-old Devon Grice was shot on the 1100 block of Sharon Avenue on Indianapolis’ west side. Officers found him critically wounded on a porch; he was taken to Eskenazi Hospital and later died from his injuries. A memorial service was held on August 6, 2016.

Devon’s twin brother Dechon described the loss as deeply painful, saying Devon was a genuine person and that the family was left with an irretrievable void. The shooting came during a period of escalating violence in the city, including nine fatal shootings over nine days surrounding this killing.

Investigators struggled to develop leads and by December 2016 Devon’s case remained among dozens of unsolved homicides in Indianapolis. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified in his killing. If anyone knew Devon, was in the area that afternoon, or has information about the shooting on Sharon Avenue, please come forward.
