In late June 2016, 20-year-old Netria Lyons was found dead inside her apartment in the 6300 block of Mission Terrace on Indianapolis’ northwest side. Family members had become worried after they were unable to reach her for several days. Investigators determined Lyons had been shot multiple times. Friends and family described her as hardworking, well-liked, a student who held two jobs, and planning a party the previous weekend; her grandmother said Netria had promised to take her to church the following Sunday but never did.

Indianapolis Metro Police arrested 35-year-old Aaron Staton of Indianapolis on August 29, 2016, identifying him as Lyons’ boyfriend; the two reportedly met while working together at Amazon. Staton was charged with murder and carrying a handgun without a license and was held without bond. If convicted, prosecutors said he faced up to 65 years; a trial was scheduled to begin November 28, 2016.

Did anyone who knew Netria or her routines around Mission Terrace have information that could help explain what happened?
