On the morning of March 14, 2016, a vehicle found on the west side of Indianapolis in the 3600 block of West Cossell Road contained 59-year-old Eddie L. Stringer. First responders at the scene treated the crash as a fatal collision, but an autopsy by the Marion County Coroner’s Office later showed that injuries from the crash were not the cause of death. The coroner ruled the death a homicide, meaning Mr. Stringer had been killed by other means before the vehicle incident.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s homicide unit opened an investigation and asked the public for any observations from that morning or other information relevant to how Mr. Stringer came to be killed. No arrests had been announced and the investigation remained active. If anyone saw anything unusual on West Cossell Road that morning or knows details about Eddie Stringer’s last hours, please share what you know with investigators.
