Anthony Dean was 21 when he was shot and killed on the evening of November 7, 2015, in a parking lot at a Burger King near West 38th Street and North Illinois Street on Indianapolis’ near north side. Reports say a shootout broke out between occupants of two vehicles; authorities indicated the incident was not random, though precise events that led to the exchange remain unclear.

The killing prompted local ministers and residents to gather at the scene to mourn and call for an end to neighborhood violence. Two men, Davon Grady and Davon Keeylen, were arrested and originally charged with murder, robbery, and aggravated battery. In May 2017 they pleaded guilty to aggravated battery; murder and robbery charges were dismissed. Both received six years in the Indiana Department of Corrections, followed by five years in Marion County Community Corrections and two years of probation. Grady was ordered to undergo psychological evaluation and treatment, and both were required to complete substance abuse evaluations.

Anyone who knew Anthony Dean or saw the events that night is asked to share information that could shed further light on what happened.
