Indianapolis — Detectives with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) Homicide Unit have arrested a suspect in connection with a New Year’s Eve homicide that claimed the life of an 18-year-old man.
Police announced that Le Vonta Harvey, 19, was taken into custody on an active murder warrant for his alleged involvement in the December 2025 shooting death of Aaron Reid Jr., 18.
According to IMPD, officers from the East District were dispatched at approximately 2:50 a.m. on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, to the 3600 block of Willowood Drive after receiving a report of a person shot.
Upon arrival, officers located Reid Jr. and a juvenile male, both suffering from injuries consistent with gunshot wounds.
Both victims were transported by Indianapolis Emergency Medical Services to a local hospital.
Police confirmed that Reid Jr. succumbed to his injuries the following day.
The juvenile victim’s condition was not released.
IMPD Homicide detectives responded to the scene and initiated an investigation, which included canvassing the area for surveillance footage, interviewing witnesses, and collecting forensic evidence.
