Joseph William Klein was a 70-year-old owner of Allied Liquor and a familiar face on Indianapolis’ east side. On the evening of March 12, 2016, three men entered his store to commit a robbery; during the crime Klein was fatally shot, a violence that deeply affected the neighborhood he had served for years.

The investigation led to the arrests of three suspects: Kameron Martin, Corey Spurlock, and Anthony Breazil. Charges were filed against the three for robbery and murder, and the case proceeded through the court system; the trial encountered at least one early procedural setback when a mistrial was declared because of technical problems with the courtroom audio system.

The death of a long-standing local business owner left friends and customers grieving. If anyone knew Joseph, frequented Allied Liquor, or has information about the March 12, 2016 robbery, please come forward.
