What police say happened

A man died late Monday night after being shot inside a residence at a south Indianapolis apartment complex, prompting a homicide investigation by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

Officers were dispatched to the 3300 block of Laurel Street at about 11:20 p.m. After arriving, officers located an adult male inside a home with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The Marion County Coroner’s Office later identified the victim as 34-year-old Andrece Dejuan Tigner.

What remains unknown

Investigators have not released information about a suspect, a motive, or whether the shooting stemmed from a dispute, domestic incident, or another circumstance. Police also have not said whether there were additional victims, whether the victim and shooter knew each other, or whether firearms have been recovered.

In the absence of those details, the case remains an open homicide investigation focused on reconstructing events inside the residence, identifying witnesses, and reviewing any available physical evidence or video from the surrounding area.

How this case fits into a broader pattern

The fatal Laurel Street shooting is one of multiple recent shootings investigated by IMPD on the city’s south side. In a separate case reported in November 2025, police said one man died and a woman was injured in a Saturday afternoon shooting near Union Street and Madison Avenue; a person of interest was detained at the scene, and the investigation was ongoing at the time.

While the two incidents occurred at different locations and times, the cases underscore how quickly shootings can unfold in residential and commercial corridors on the city’s south side, leaving investigators dependent on fast, accurate information from witnesses and community members.

What investigators are asking for

Police are encouraging anyone who witnessed activity around the 3300 block of Laurel Street late Monday night, or who has information that could help identify the shooter, to contact the IMPD Homicide Office or provide information through Crime Stoppers.

Police have not provided a timeframe for updates.
