On October 3, 2016, 23-year-old Tre Spencer was shot and killed in an alley behind a nightclub in the Broad Ripple neighborhood of Indianapolis after a long-standing feud between two groups reignited inside the club and continued outside. Another man, 22-year-old Shaquille Potts, was also shot and survived. An off-duty police officer heard the gunfire and discovered the two victims.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Taskforce, arrested 23-year-old Marcus Barnes on October 25, 2016, on a preliminary charge of murder in connection with Spencer’s death. The case went to trial in April 2018; witnesses identified Barnes as the shooter, but after eight hours of deliberation the jury deadlocked and a mistrial was declared. The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office announced plans to retry the case with a new hearing set for May 2, 2018.

Did anyone in Broad Ripple or the Indianapolis area know Tre Spencer or witness the events that night and can provide more information?
