In the summer of 2014, 17-year-old Brandon Ford was fatally shot during an attempted home invasion on Indianapolis’ north side. The shooting occurred on Sunday afternoon, July 27, 2014, when Ford and two others allegedly tried to force their way into a residence on North College Avenue. A 27-year-old homeowner who was a member of the Indiana National Guard fired during an exchange of gunfire; Ford was found with a fatal gunshot wound and the other two alleged intruders fled and were not identified.

Police questioned the homeowner and released him; investigators noted the homeowner had been the victim of previous break-ins at that address and ultimately no charges were filed in connection with the shooting. Family and friends remembered Ford as cheerful and interested in sports and music, and community leaders responded by urging renewed efforts to guide young people away from criminal activity.

Did anyone in the neighborhood at the time see anything about the attempted break-in or the two people who ran from the scene?
