Jerome Warren, 49, was shot and killed on April 9, 2014, in the front yard of his home in the 5600 block of East 20th Street in east Indianapolis. Family described him as a father of five who focused on providing for his children and helped others.

Investigators say the shooting grew out of a dispute with an acquaintance, Curtis Foster, over a drug debt Foster believed Warren was responsible for because of Foster’s ex-wife. The argument escalated in Warren’s yard and ended in the fatal shooting. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department pursued the case for months.

On July 18, 2014, detectives received an anonymous tip locating Foster; officers arrested the then 43-year-old without resistance and charged him with Warren’s murder, holding him in custody without bond.

If anyone knew Jerome, his routines, or has information about the events of April 9, 2014, please come forward.
