Fatal Indianapolis shooting death of Devon Highbaugh – Obituary
A man, identified as 32-year-old Devon Highbaugh, was found dead early Wednesday morning after being shot inside his home on Indianapolis’s east side.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) responded to a call around 1 a.m. on Hiner Lane, near Shadeland Avenue, where officers discovered Highbaugh, who had already succumbed to his injuries. The reason behind the shooting remains uncertain at this time.
“There’s evidence suggesting that either the residence or Highbaugh himself was specifically targeted, though the motive remains unknown,” stated IMPD Captain Don Weilhammer.
Throughout the day, neighbors on this otherwise quiet street shared suspicions of possible drug-related activities at the property. Additionally, court records revealed that Highbaugh was due for sentencing the following week on drug charges after entering a guilty plea in Hamilton County. However, authorities have not confirmed if drugs had any involvement in the incident.
This tragic event is especially startling to local residents, as the area, located just north of IMPD’s East District headquarters, has seen no deadly violence earlier this year.
“Being a typically calm neighborhood, this incident is unsettling. We are committed to doing everything possible to resolve this case,” said IMPD Sgt. William Young.
Reportedly, several individuals were in the house with Highbaugh when the shooting occurred. They were questioned by the police and released.
Police are urging the community to come forward with any information that could help identify the perpetrator.
“Violent crime impacts all of us, and we can’t address it alone. Community cooperation is essential,” Sgt. Young added.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact Detective Katie Gourley at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or via email at [email protected]. For anonymous tips, individuals may call Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.
