On July 6, 2015, 24-year-old Lakim Devon Mabry, also known as Lil Dirty, was shot and killed on the east side of Indianapolis in the 3600 block of North Gale Street. An eyewitness saw Mabry on the ground in a yard trying to get up after initial gunfire when a man ran up, knelt down, and shot him once in the head, a wound that proved fatal.

Investigators focused on a primary suspect, Sir Christopher Lee Jones. The witness described the shooter as a Black male about six feet one or two inches tall with a lighter complexion and dreadlocks, later identifying Jones from a photo array and again at trial. Jones fled the area, cut his dreadlocks and got a new phone, but was arrested by the Kansas Highway Patrol on July 10, 2015, and extradited to Indiana.

Jones was tried, convicted of murder, and sentenced to 55 years in prison. The eyewitness identification was pivotal at trial. If anyone knew Lakim Mabry, his movements that week, or the circumstances around the shooting, please share what’s known.
