Charles E Brown, a 31-year-old African-American man, was fatally shot in Indianapolis on the evening of Friday, January 29, 2016. Police were called to the 4400 block of Robertson Boulevard about 5:45 p.m. after a report of a person shot, but officers did not find a victim at the scene because Brown’s sister had already taken him and was driving him to Community Westview Hospital.

Brown arrived at the hospital in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the thigh and later died from that injury. Detectives believe the shooting occurred outside the residence on Robertson Boulevard from which the initial call originated. The investigation remains active; no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified, and authorities and the family have publicly asked the community for any information.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or about activity on Robertson Boulevard that could help the investigation, please come forward.
