On February 20, 2014, 47-year-old Walter Burnell was shot and killed in his Indianapolis home on South Parker Avenue during a burglary plot that escalated into a quadruple homicide. Three other people in the house also died: Jacob Rodemich, 43, Kristy Mae Sanchez, 22, and Hayley Navarra, 21. Investigators concluded the killings were not random but grew out of a planned robbery targeting money kept in a safe.

Authorities say four people conspired to carry out the robbery: Kenneth Cody Rackemann, Anthony LaRussa, Valencia Williams, and Samantha Bradley. Rackemann entered the home intending to steal money; a confrontation followed and he shot Burnell, then Rodemich and Sanchez. After running out of ammunition while trying to shoot Navarra, Rackemann summoned Williams from a car outside, and Williams entered and shot Navarra twice.

All four suspects were taken into custody and prosecutions were underway. Does anyone have information about Burnell, the others who were killed, or the people involved that could help clarify what happened that day?
