Nathan Trapuzzano was 24 when he was killed in the early morning hours of April 1, 2014, while on his customary walk in his Indianapolis neighborhood. A newlywed and expecting his first child, he worked as a computer programmer and was an active Catholic. Surveillance footage showed a suspect approach him; Trapuzzano was shot once in the abdomen and found collapsed in the parking lot of a tire shop. He was taken to hospital but died shortly afterward.

Police identified 16-year-old Simeon Adams in the investigation; Adams was already in juvenile detention after being shot in an unrelated incident the same day. Authorities said another 16-year-old acted as a lookout and was expected to be a witness rather than charged. Adams was charged as an adult with murder, felony murder, attempted robbery, and carrying a handgun without a license, and later pleaded guilty and received a 55-year prison sentence. The killing occurred weeks before the birth of Trapuzzano’s daughter, Cecilia.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see activity in the area that night or recognize the person on the surveillance footage?
