James Edward Sapp, 51, was found dead outdoors near a pickup truck on North Riley Avenue in Indianapolis in March 2017. He had been shot in the head with a shotgun. Known to some as Eddie or Fast Eddie, Sapp’s killing grew out of a dispute over money owed for drugs and a handgun.

Investigators determined Karl Woodall had been looking for Sapp over the debt. On March 6, 2017, Woodall reportedly located Sapp at a North Riley Avenue residence, returned to a van, took out a 12-gauge shotgun and fired through the van’s rearview mirror, killing Sapp. Evidence later recovered in Woodall’s rented van included shotgun shells that matched those used in the killing.

Woodall was arrested on March 31, 2017, in connection with another homicide, and was subsequently tried and convicted of Sapp’s murder. Does anyone have information about Sapp’s life in Indianapolis or who might have witnessed events leading up to March 6, 2017?
