On the evening of September 21, 2016, 22-year-old mother Charlese Zinnerman was driving her SUV in Indianapolis’ Haughville neighborhood when gunfire struck her in the forehead. Her vehicle continued rolling and hit several parked cars; her six-year-old daughter watched from the backseat, unbuckled herself and ran to a nearby house to get help. The shooter had left the scene by the time police arrived near 10th Street and Belleview Place.

Charlese was taken to a hospital and died the following day. Her family donated her organs, which went on to help six people. Investigators have not publicly identified any suspects or announced arrests, and the motive remains unclear, though there was speculation the shooting could have been mistaken identity related to an earlier drive-by in the area.

Memorials have been held and the family continues to raise the daughter who survived. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
