On March 24, 2015, 48-year-old Sherry Taylor, a Black woman, was found shot to death alongside three others in a home on North Harding Street in Indianapolis. The other victims were identified as 41-year-old Terri Betties, her 18-year-old son Davon Whitlock, and their 32-year-old cousin Tiara Turner. Each had been shot multiple times, and investigators early on said the killings did not appear random, suggesting the victims may have known their killer.

In January 2019 the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office charged Nicholas Dunn with four counts of murder and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, alleging he held the three women at gunpoint and used them to lure Whitlock into the house before killing all four. Dunn was already in custody on an unrelated matter when charges were filed.

In July 2022 prosecutors dismissed all charges against Dunn, citing significant evidentiary challenges: two key witnesses had died and DNA evidence from the scene was compromised and inadmissible. The investigation into the four murders remains open.

If anyone has information that could help advance this investigation, please come forward.
