A young woman was found dead in the basement of her stepmother’s Indianapolis home on March 28, 2014. Twenty-one-year-old Shannon Kleeman was staying there to care for pets while the stepmother was in the hospital. Her sister discovered the body after finding the front door unlocked the next morning.

Shannon was found partially clothed with a fatal gunshot wound to the head from a twelve-gauge shotgun and had been sexually assaulted. Investigators focused on a neighbor, Morice Ervin, who knew the household and had previously helped load a shotgun kept in the house. DNA taken from Shannon’s body, including from under her fingernails and on her breast, matched Ervin.

Ervin was arrested and charged with murder and Class A felony rape. The case went to trial and the jury found him guilty on all counts. Does anyone have memories of the neighborhood or details about Shannon’s life that could add context to what happened?
