Wesley E. Collins, a 37-year-old Black man, was found with injuries consistent with a gunshot wound on the evening of January 5, 2016, on the 3300 block of Hovey Street on Indianapolis’s near north side. Medics pronounced Collins deceased at the scene. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department’s homicide detectives treated this as the city’s second murder of the new year and conducted a canvass, questioned several people at headquarters and appealed to the public for information.

Despite those efforts, the investigation stalled. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. The case remains an unsolved homicide, and Collins’s family has been left without answers. If anyone remembers events or saw activity on Hovey Street the night of January 5, 2016, information could be crucial to the investigation.
