The first homicide recorded in Indianapolis in 2017 occurred on Tuesday, January 3. The victim was 38-year-old Gillium Levy, a Black man found inside a home in the 1100 block of North Jefferson Avenue on the city’s near-east side. Officers responding to reports of shots fired discovered Levy with fatal gunshot wounds; the Marion County Coroner’s Office confirmed his identity and cause of death.

Police initially released few details about motive or possible suspects and asked the public for help. Later compilations of 2017 homicides note an arrest in the case but list the particulars as unknown. With no further public announcements or reporting detailing charges, identities, or legal outcomes, who was responsible for Levy’s death and how events unfolded remain unclear.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or with information about North Jefferson Avenue in January 2017 see or hear anything that might help explain what happened to Gillium Levy?
