Flora Albarran, 22, was among seven members of her family killed in a mass shooting at their Hamilton Avenue home in Indianapolis on June 1, 2006. The victims spanned three generations: Flora; her mother, Emma Valdez, 46; Valdez’s partner, Alberto Covarrubias, 56; Flora’s brother, Magno Albarran, 29; Flora’s five-year-old son, Luis Albarran; and two younger half-brothers, Alberto Covarrubias, 11, and David Covarrubias, 8.

According to accounts of the evening, Flora had been out with a friend and stopped at the house to pick up her son. Magno arrived about the same time and both noticed the house was dark. They went inside to check, witnesses heard Flora scream not to enter, and gunshots followed. Two men were then seen fleeing the residence. Investigators later said the attackers had entered believing a safe with money and drugs was inside.

Police identified two suspects, and authorities arrested one during a traffic stop the day after the killings; the other surrendered two days after the murders. Both were charged with multiple counts including murder. Does anyone have memories of this neighborhood or information about the victims that could help clarify what happened that night?
