Rodney Brown, 33, was found with a gunshot wound to the head on the front porch of a house in the 3400 block of Ralston Avenue in Indianapolis just after midnight on December 17, 2015. Emergency services took him to a nearby hospital, but he died of his injuries. He was identified as a Black male from Indianapolis.

Investigators on scene said the shooting did not appear to be random, but police had no suspect in custody and no person of interest named in initial reports. The death was noted as part of a troubling rise in homicides in the city at that time. No arrest or public resolution in the case has been announced.

If anyone has information about Rodney’s final hours or the people who were with him that night, please come forward to assist the investigation.
