INDIANAPOLIS — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is now offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest in a 2022 triple homicide on Indianapolis' near northeast side.
Around 3 a.m. May 3, 2022, 15-year-old Kabelo "Kabe" Reidenbach, 31-year-old Anthony Morman and 25-year-old Marvin Walker, Jr. were shot while sitting in a car in the 3500 block of North Caroline Avenue, near East 34th Street and Keystone Avenue. All three died from their injuries.
ATF announced Wednesday the reward for "information leading to the identification and arrest of the individual(s) responsible."
"We are offering a reward at this time with the hope that someone will come forward with information that will lead us to the individual or individuals responsible for this crime," Daryl S. McCormick, Special Agent in Charge of ATF's Columbus Field Division, said in a statement. "We need to bring closure to these families and prevent more needless violence."
"This really the worst time of my life, like a big blow to me," said Nicola Morman, mother of Anthony Morman.
It still hurts Nicola two years later, especially since her son's killer could still be out there.
"Whoever the blame is to go to the people that shot him, shot him and killed him in their car like that," she said.
Nicola said she wasn't acquainted with the other victims in the shooting.
"I don't know neither one of the guys, but my heart goes out to their family," Nicola said.
"There was a lot of details that just doesn't make sense," said John Nokes, who works for ATF, who called the murders "vicious."
"There are so many of us that are parents, and if you're parents of a child, just imagine how you would feel to be woke up in the middle of night to find out that your child had been viciously murdered, and you have all these questions with no answers," said Nokes.
He says detectives have questions and someone knows the answers.
Nicola said she's happy ATF has announced a reward.
"I've been patient because I feel like it's going to come out, it's going to eventually come out," she said.
Anthony was her oldest and his death is a big loss, she said.
"I carried him for nine months, single parent, and then I had four kids and single parents, so he struggled with me, and he was my oldest," said Nicola, who added she's grateful the family she still has.
"I'm very, very, very, very blessed and grateful for the family that I have," Nicola said.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact ATF at 1-888-283-8477. Tips can also be submitted by emailing ATFTips@atf.gov or by visiting ATF's website.
