Shane D. Watford was 18 when his body was found on the banks of the White River in Indianapolis on the afternoon of Friday, May 6, 2016. The discovery at the 2600 block of North White River Parkway drew Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers, who determined his body showed signs of trauma and classified the death as a homicide. Homicide detectives were assigned to investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.

The case appears unresolved in the records that note the initial investigation, leaving many questions for family and the community.

If anyone has information about Shane, his last movements, or what happened at the river that day, law enforcement would welcome a tip.
