David W. Phelps Jr., 19, was shot and killed during a violent home invasion in Indianapolis in the early hours of June 16, 2015. Officers responding to a report of a person shot at a Cluster Pine Drive residence found evidence of forced entry and Phelps deceased inside. His mother, brother, and cousin were in the house; his mother, Adrienne Alexander, reported two men forced their way in, one pointing a gun at her before she hid in a bedroom closet and heard multiple shots as Phelps went into the hallway to investigate.

Investigators quickly focused on a 17-year-old, Michael Grady, after Grady’s wallet with his Indiana BMV ID was found on the front lawn and a phone call placed shortly after police were dispatched in which he reportedly told a friend he had shot someone. Grady was arrested, charged as an adult, and prosecutors said he and another individual had entered the home and caused the fatal shooting. A jury found Michael Grady guilty in March 2017.

Does anyone have information about David’s life in Indianapolis or knew him or his family that could add context to what happened?
