Jaylen Murray was 16 and a junior and football player at Arlington High School when he was found shot to death inside a car on the northeast side of Indianapolis on February 3, 2016. The vehicle was located in the 4400 block of Park Forest Drive, in an apartment complex not far from his school. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators learned Jaylen had left school grounds during the school day before the shooting, a fact his mother later cited in a lawsuit against Indianapolis Public Schools. The Indiana Supreme Court ultimately ruled the district not liable, noting evidence that he had left to take part in an act described as unlawful and potentially dangerous. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department homicide detectives investigated but no suspects have been identified and no arrests have been announced. The motive and many circumstances remain unreleased.

If anyone knew Jaylen, was with him that day, or has information about the shooting, please come forward to help his family find answers.
