Indianapolis, Indiana — On January 25, 2024, around 5:26 p.m., Indianapolis Metropolitan Police officers responded to the 2600 block of Brookside Parkway North Drive as part of an investigation to apprehend a convicted murderer. Officers with IMPD’s East District Violence Team tried to stop a vehicle to apprehend 48-year-old Raphael Nafees Dekemper, who was wanted on several active felony warrants. Dekemper’s warrants included possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, criminal recklessness, pointing a firearm and invasion of privacy.

Dekemper was located in the 2500 block of East 16th Street and was seen leaving a house and getting back into the passenger seat of a 2006 Pontiac Vibe. A home security camera captured the traffic stop after the Pontiac came to a stop. An officer told the driver to turn the car off. Another officer told the passengers in the car to put their hands out the window. In the video, Dekemper could be seen exiting the vehicle and appearing to point his firearm and firing at police. Gunfire then rang out between the suspect and officers.

Dekemper was struck multiple times after three officers returned fire. Dekemper was later seen on the ground. Officers approached and used a ballistic shield for protection, and secured Dekemper’s firearm. IMPD provided medical aid until paramedics arrived. Dekemper was transported to Eskenazi Hospital, where he later died. The woman driving the Pontiac was taken into custody unharmed without incident. Dekemper spent more than 20 years in Indiana prisons for a murder committed in 1995 when he was just 17 years old. He got out on parole in 2017. His cousin, Tierra Johnson, said Dekemper told her he knew there was a warrant for his arrest but he was not going back to prison.
