The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) Homicide Detectives have arrested 20-year-old Jason Powell for his alleged involvement in the January 3, 2025 murder of 23-year-old Shannon Campbell and the attempted murder of a second individual.

On Friday, January 3, 2025, shortly after 3:30 p.m., IMPD Southwest District officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 1800 block of Howard Street.

Upon arrival, officers discovered two adult males outside with gunshot wounds.

Emergency medical services arrived at the scene, where Shannon Campbell was tragically pronounced dead.

The second victim, who sustained critical injuries, was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.

IMPD Homicide Detectives immediately launched an investigation, gathering critical information from the scene.

Detectives quickly identified a suspect vehicle through available technology and additional investigative techniques.

The investigation led to the identification of Jason Powell as the primary suspect in the case. On Monday, January 13, 2025, members of the IMPD Violent Crimes Unit (VCU), with the assistance of IMPD SWAT, located Powell in the 2800 block of Ludwig Avenue. He was taken into custody without incident.

Following consultation with the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office (MCPO), Powell was arrested and preliminarily charged with murder and attempted murder. The MCPO will review the case and make the final decision on formal charges.

Authorities emphasize that an arrest and charges are allegations at this stage, and all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

This case highlights the IMPD’s commitment to using advanced technology and investigative techniques to swiftly address violent crime and bring suspects to justice.

Anyone with additional information related to this case is encouraged to contact IMPD Homicide Detectives or submit a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-TIPS.
