Kevin Lamont Cheeks was 17 when he died from multiple gunshot wounds on April 17, 2015, on the east side of Indianapolis. Emergency responders arrived but he succumbed to his injuries the same day. The shooting happened in a residential area during daylight hours and prompted immediate investigation by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

Investigators processed the scene and interviewed witnesses; police announced an arrest shortly after the incident, though initial reports did not release the suspect’s identity or a motive. Kevin was born February 2, 1998, and attended Howe High School. He is survived by his parents, Reginald Turner and Renodia Cheeks, a brother and sisters. A visitation was held at Eastside Baptist Church and he was buried at New Crown Cemetery.

If anyone who lived on the east side that day saw activity or remembers Kevin, can you share what you know?
