Unsolved, but not a mystery

No one has been arrested for killing Alexander Brown, a 24-year-old in Indianapolis, even though his body was dragged and dumped in broad daylight. His death is hardly an outlier: In a four-block area around his home on Gladstone Avenue, on the northeast side of Indianapolis, there has been a high concentration of homicides since 2007. Only one has led to an arrest.

Two years later, Brown’s slaying remains unsolved, like many others on the same block, raising a lot of questions in the city.
