On January 29, 1980, 31-year-old taxi driver Kenneth Warren Chambers was found dead in an alley off East Fall Creek Parkway in Indianapolis. He was discovered nude except for socks, frozen to the ground in a pool of his blood. An autopsy determined Chambers died from a single small-caliber gunshot wound to the right temple.

Investigators traced the incident to a call around 1:30 a.m. that night to the 1800 block of North College Avenue, placed by a barmaid at the M & J Social Club at the request of a man named Gary Burris. Burris boarded Chambers’ cab with two companions, James Thompson and Emmett Merriweather. Chambers was robbed of $40, forced to strip in the cold, and then shot at point-blank range.

Gary Burris was charged and convicted of murder; James Thompson and Emmett Merriweather were also charged and later convicted for their roles. Does anyone have additional information about Chambers’ last known movements or about the M & J Social Club that could shed more light on the case?
