Jakoby Scott, 30, was shot around noon on May 15, 2016, near 34th Street and Keystone Avenue in Indianapolis. First responders found him with a gunshot wound to his stomach and he died after being taken to a local hospital. The shooting was described as a targeted attack amid a dispute between alleged gang rivals on the city’s east side.

Police detained 27-year-old Donahvon Troutman the same day after spotting a vehicle believed to be linked to the incident and apprehending him near 52nd Street and Georgetown Road following a brief chase. Troutman was initially charged with murder, but that charge was later dropped when he accepted a plea agreement that resulted in two years of home detention. The reduced sentence disappointed many in the community.

Scott was a lifelong member of Phillips Temple CME Church and worked for Hapak Companies Inc. Does anyone have information about Scott, the shooting, or its aftermath that could help clarify what happened?
