On June 1, 2006, 46-year-old Emma Valdez and six other members of her family were found shot to death inside their Indianapolis home at 560 North Hamilton Avenue. The victims spanned three generations: Valdez’s husband Alberto Covarrubias, 56; their sons Alberto Covarrubias Jr., 11, and David Covarrubias, 8; Valdez’s adult daughter Flora Albarran, 22; her adult son Magno Albarran, 29; and Flora’s son Luis Albarran, 5. Police recovered 23 cartridge casings and reported the victims had been shot with a military-style rifle. Authorities said the motive was a robbery based on a mistaken belief that a safe containing cash and cocaine was in the home.

Two men, Desmond Turner and James Stewart, were identified as suspects; Stewart was taken into custody the day after the killings and Turner surrendered two days later. Both were charged with seven counts of murder and other offenses. The case centers on witness testimony and circumstantial evidence after no murder weapon was linked to the crime.
