Oluwadayomi Epenusi, 66, had recently moved to Indianapolis from Nigeria, where he had served as a pastor. Early one Saturday morning at an apartment complex near 10th Street and I-465 on the city’s west side, roughly 15 gunshots were heard by a neighbor who called 911. Police believe the shooting began during a robbery attempt; acquaintances said Epenusi was targeted for his purse and was shot after refusing to give it up.

Despite severe wounds, Epenusi returned to his apartment and was driven by his roommate to Eskenazi Hospital, where he later died without being able to describe what happened. He had been working to bring his children to the United States; they had recently received their visas. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department opened a homicide investigation and a manhunt, but no public announcements about arrests or identified suspects have been made and the case remains unresolved.

Did anyone in the area hear or see anything that morning, or does anyone have information about possible suspects or vehicles near 10th Street and I-465?
