Jack Martin, 40, was found dead in his Indianapolis east-side home on October 15, 2016, with a single gunshot wound to the right temple. Officers who responded around 12:30 a.m. discovered him lying on a bed, covered with a blanket and with his hands folded over his abdomen.

Investigators focused on Martin’s ex-wife, 32-year-old Brittni Martin, who admitted to shooting him but said she acted in self-defense after he allegedly pointed a gun at her and a struggle for the weapon ensued. Police reported inconsistencies: the house showed no signs of a struggle, the position of the body appeared staged to some observers, and Brittni had called her mother and waited about half an hour before calling 911.

Brittni Martin was arrested and tried for murder; the jury heard testimony about the couple’s history of domestic abuse as well as the physical evidence. On July 12, 2017, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Does anyone have information about Jack’s life or the events that night that could add clarity to what happened?
