On the night between January 1 and January 2, 2014, 16-year-old Tyrell Alford was killed by gunfire during an altercation on Graydon Street near Temple Avenue on Indianapolis’s southeast side. The shooting occurred just before 1 a.m. and was recorded as the city’s first homicide of the year. Alford suffered a mortal gunshot wound at the scene.

Within weeks the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department identified and arrested three suspects: 18-year-old Michael Clemons, 17-year-old Demarco Butler, and 16-year-old Lawrence Watson. Butler and Watson were charged as adults; all three faced preliminary murder charges. Reports say the shooting grew out of a dispute, though the exact nature of that conflict has not been widely detailed.

Does anyone have additional information about Tyrell, the altercation that led to his death, or what came next in the legal proceedings?
