Wesley Collins, 37, was found fatally wounded from what was described as a gunshot on the near north side of Indianapolis on January 5, 2016. Officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department arrived shortly after 10:30 p.m.; medics pronounced him deceased at the scene in the 3300 block of Hovey Street. His death was the city’s second homicide within the first five days of 2016.

Homicide detectives canvassed the neighborhood and brought several people to IMPD headquarters for questioning while the coroner’s office prepared an autopsy to determine cause and manner of death. Funeral services and a viewing were held at New Direction Church, and Collins was laid to rest at Washington Park North Cemetery. Despite those early investigative steps, no suspects have been publicly identified or arrested and the case later went cold.
