Tamara Sword, 32, was killed late on August 22, 2015, after a dispute that began inside an Indianapolis nightclub spilled outside and moved to a gas station on Lafayette Road. Sword, a mother of five, was sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle at the station when gunfire erupted; she was taken to IU Health Methodist Hospital and died of her injuries. Another man, Joshua Riggins, was also killed at the scene after being run over by a car fleeing the shooting.

Police identified two suspects in the shooting as Michael Edwards, then 33, and Kenneth Jones, then 28. Both were arrested in June 2016 and charged with murder and attempted murder. Prosecutors later dismissed the murder charges against Edwards and Jones, citing problems with witness testimony, and no one has been held legally responsible for Sword’s death.

What information could help move this case forward for Tamara’s family and the community?
