On the night of August 9, 2015, 15-year-old Andre Green, a Black male, died after Indianapolis Metropolitan Police officers opened fire during a pursuit. Officers were investigating an armed carjacking in which shots had reportedly been fired at a bystander and spotted a vehicle matching the stolen car’s description. The vehicle, driven by Green, was boxed in on a dead-end street after two other passengers fled. Police say Green struck a patrol car and then accelerated toward officers, who fired; Green was hit, stumbled out, and was pronounced dead. A handgun later identified as stolen was found near his body.

Green’s family disputed the police account, with some witnesses saying he did not have a gun and was trying to flee. They described him as a good person who had been having difficulties and had been in juvenile court and run away from home. The family filed a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging excessive force; a judge later ruled for the city and officers, finding the officers’ actions reasonable under the circumstances. Does anyone have additional information or eyewitness details about the shooting or the moments before it?
