On May 10, 2014, 23-year-old Black male Terrance Holmes was shot and killed on the Eastside of Indianapolis. The violence followed an earlier domestic argument that afternoon involving 20-year-old Tyree Brodley and the mother of his infant child; that dispute drew in the woman’s mother, her brother and his friend Holmes. Brodley reportedly left the residence, armed, and returned later that evening.

Around 9:00 p.m. near a used auto sales office, witnesses saw a group of men, including Holmes, on a street corner when Brodley approached, separated the group and opened fire. Holmes was struck three times by a .40 caliber handgun and died at the scene. Multiple witnesses reported a chaotic exchange with twenty to thirty shots fired. Officers located a wounded Brodley in an alley with a Glock Model 27 .40 caliber handgun nearby; ballistics linked that weapon to the shots that hit Holmes.

A judge later reviewed the evidence at a bench trial and found Brodley guilty of murder; he received a 55-year sentence. Does anyone have further information about Holmes’ life or about witnesses who were at that corner that night?
