Lamar Deon Comer, 33, was fatally shot on Memorial Day, May 25, 2015, on Indianapolis’s west side. A Black man who had moved to the city from Gary, Indiana, Comer ran Comer Property Renovators and held certifications in electrical work, plumbing, and EPA standards; he supported his family through that business and his professional skills.

Police quickly identified a suspect and arrested Joseph Bell, who was charged with Comer’s murder. The case went to trial, where the defense argued the shooting was in self-defense and the jury ultimately found Bell not guilty of murder. The acquittal left Comer’s family and community mourning without a criminal conviction.
