Daniel P. Jaffke, 30, was shot and killed while working a pizza delivery shift on the evening of January 31, 2014. The delivery was to Capital Place Apartments on Indianapolis’ south side; in the parking lot of the 4100 block of Continental Court he was shot during a robbery and his black Jeep Cherokee Laredo was taken. A resident reported hearing a male voice pleading, Oh God, oh God no, followed by a single gunshot and a vehicle door closing at about 6:45 p.m. Jaffke was found in the lot and taken to Eskenazi Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The stolen Jeep was recovered the next morning in a laundromat parking lot.

Investigators arrested 27-year-old Shawn Wilson days after the killing, with friends and relatives providing information that helped locate him. Prosecutors presented a fingerprint from Wilson inside the recovered vehicle; on August 6, 2014 a jury found him guilty of murder, robbery, and carrying a handgun without a license, and he was sentenced on August 29, 2014 to 65 years. Jaffke’s family remembered him as a talented musician and a dependable, selfless friend.

Did anyone in the Indianapolis area have contact with Daniel around January 31, 2014 or recall seeing his Jeep that evening?
