Julius ’JuJu’ Alan Douglas was 23 when he was found shot to death on February 1, 2014, along with another man, Carlos Darnell Jefferson Jr., inside a truck on North Hovey Street in Indianapolis. Douglas was identified as a Black male. Authorities linked the double homicide to local gang activity and alleged involvement by a group called the Grundy Crew, which was said to be engaged in drug trafficking and other violent crimes in the area.

Police alleged that the gang’s leader, Richard Grundy III, ordered the killings and that a man named John Means carried out the shootings. Means faced a murder-for-hire prosecution; a mistrial was declared in October 2016 when the jury could not reach a verdict, and a second jury acquitted Means of the murders in February 2017. Prosecutors later dropped remaining murder charges against Means. Richard Grundy III faced multiple trials over alleged roles in ordering the killings but was not convicted on those specific charges. No one was ultimately convicted for the murder of Julius Douglas.
