Beloved business student, 23, shot and killed in horrific random attack in Midwest city that’s fast developing reputation for crime and ‘anarchy’

A promising business student was shot and killed in a random attack while on his way to meet his parents at a baseball game in Indiana, police said.

Brett Scrogham, 23, was inside a parking garage around 6.00pm Thursday when he was struck by a bullet, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) said.

Scrogham, who was just moments away from enjoying an Indianapolis Indians game at Victory Field, was found suffering from a gunshot wound when officers arrived.

An unidentified person was detained and later released at the scene of the shooting, the police said.

Investigators have urged the public to come forward if they know anything related to the deadly shooting, which remains under investigation.

Scrogham had just graduated from the IU Kelley School of Business, where he was a Top 100 student, according to a GoFundMe page.

Tributes poured in following Scrogham’s death, including one from Robyn Collier, who said he rescued her dogs during a house fire.
