Antonio Kelley

In the early morning hours of September 17, 2016, a burst of violence on the northwest side of Indianapolis tragically cut short the life of 23-year-old Antonio Kelley. The incident, which unfolded around 1:30 a.m. in a parking lot, also claimed the life of another 23-year-old man, Derrius Brandon, and left a third individual critically wounded.

Responding to reports of gunfire, officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department arrived at a chaotic scene. They discovered the victims suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite the immediate medical attention, both Antonio Kelley and Derrius Brandon succumbed to their injuries. The third victim was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition.

The double homicide sent ripples of fear and concern through the local community, which was already grappling with a notable increase in violent crime that year. Investigators immediately began working the case, canvassing the area for witnesses and collecting evidence. They sought to piece together the events that led to the deadly shooting in the parking lot.

In the years that have followed the violent deaths of Antonio Kelley and Derrius Brandon, their case has remained unsolved. Despite the ongoing investigation and pleas from law enforcement for public assistance, no arrests have been made in connection with the murders. The loss of the two young men continues to be felt by their families and the community, who still await answers and justice.
