On the evening of Sunday, October 19, 2014, officers in Indianapolis responded to reports of gunfire on the city’s near-east side and found a man fatally wounded inside a duplex on the 600 block of North Oxford Street. Shell casings were recovered in the entryway and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

The deceased was identified as Ulric Reid, 26, African American. Investigators said the shooting did not appear to be random and may have been narcotics-related, though a motive was not confirmed. The incident happened the same night as another violent event in the city, complicating the initial inquiry as authorities worked to determine whether the two were connected.

No suspects were publicly identified or charged at the time, and the case has remained an open, unsolved homicide listed in cold-case databases. If anyone has information that could help resolve Ulric Reid’s killing, please come forward to the appropriate authorities.
