Alexis Gomez was 21 and a student at IUPUI when he was shot and killed at his rented home in the 2600 block of North Bazil Avenue in Indianapolis in the early morning of February 20, 2016. Guests had stayed overnight after a gathering; just before 7:00 AM a loud noise woke several people. Gomez came out of his bedroom saying he thought he had been shot and then collapsed. He was taken to Eskenazi Hospital and later died of his injuries.

Investigators say the bullet came from outside through an open bedroom window and was fired by a young white male. A neighbor’s security camera reportedly captured two young white males fleeing in a gray or silver Pontiac Grand Prix, believed to be a 2003 to 2008 model; those individuals are considered primary suspects. No arrests have been announced and motive has not been released.

Anyone who was in or near the 2600 block of North Bazil Avenue on February 20, 2016, or who recognizes the vehicle or the men seen fleeing, is asked to come forward with information.
