Indianapolis killings: Tracking every homicide in 2023
After three years of seeing more than 200 homicides annually, IndyStar is continuing to track each killing to better understand violence in the city and remember the victims. This list is preliminary, and the number of homicides can change as authorities investigate the circumstances of each case, determining whether the slaying was criminal, justified, accidental or suicide. IndyStar has excluded cases ruled accidents, suicides, fatal overdoses or hit-and-run deaths unless they were deemed intentional. This information is compiled using data from Indianapolis police, court records and interviews with family and friends of those killed. Anyone with information that could help a homicide investigation is asked to call the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477 to remain anonymous.

Toddler’s body found in Martinsville connected to Indianapolis missing person case
April 21: Indianapolis police discovered the body of a female child in the bottom drawer of a dresser inside a dilapidated house near Martinsville.
They were led to the location by Madison Marshall, while investigating the disappearance of the woman’s toddler-age daughter.

That was Feb. 9 − just weeks before Snow's second birthday.
While the remains have not yet been officially identified, the evidence was enough to support a litany of charges filed against Marshall and Waters, including murder and neglect of a dependent resulting in death.
The criminal charges, which were announced by the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office in conjunction with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, appear to mark the end of a national search for Snow that began in Seminole County, Oklahoma and included law enforcement in four states and the FBI.

"One of those individuals transported was listed in critical condition and the other in stable condition," Leeper said, adding the person listed in critical condition later died.
The juvenile was identified as Michael Mason Jr., 16, according to the Marion County Coroner's Office.
The fatal shooting followed an "altercation" between three males, according to IMPD. Homicide detectives are questioning a person of interest, an adult male that Leeper said is cooperating with police.
Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears filed a motion asking the court to appoint a special prosecutor to review and weigh charges in the shooting, citing a conflict of interest. A Marion Superior Court Judge granted the prosecutor's motion.
