Emeterio Islas, 19, was found shot and buried in a shallow grave in a wooded area along Little Eagle Creek near the 3300 block of West Washington Street in Indianapolis. His body was discovered on June 12, 2014; investigators determined he had been shot multiple times before being concealed in the shallow grave. Reports identify him as a native of Las Choapas, Veracruz, Mexico, and some media accounts used the name Emeterio Velazquez, a likely maternal surname variation, while community vigils and records used Emeterio Islas.

Though his death was recorded among a spate of gun-related homicides in the city that year, public reports do not link specific arrests or charges to his killing, and the case remained listed among the city’s unsolved homicides. If anyone knew Emeterio, his movements that summer, or saw suspicious activity near Little Eagle Creek in June 2014, please share what might help investigators.
