On the night of July 19, 2008, 29-year-old Chanelle Wells was shot during a violent home invasion at her Morningstar Road residence in Indianapolis. She had stayed home with a cousin and the children while her husband attended the Indiana Black Expo Summer Celebration; the cousin and the youngest child hid under a bed while intruders ransacked the house searching for money. Paramedics transported Chanelle to a hospital, where she died of her injuries.

Investigators reported finding several firearms and what was suspected to be marijuana in the home, though it was not clear whether those items were the intruders’ target. Police developed two persons of interest and released a composite sketch of one; one individual was later questioned about the killing while in custody on unrelated charges. No arrests or charges have been announced and the case has gone cold.

Does anyone who lived in that neighborhood in 2008 or who remembers the events or the released composite sketch have information that could help investigators?
