ANDERSON — Anderson Police have arrested a man in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred last December.
Jordan Goode, 33, was arrested Tuesday, August 19, 2025, in Richmond, Indiana, following an eight-month investigation into the shooting death of 28-year-old Dustin M. Rhodes.
The arrest stems from the shooting investigation that began on December 7, 2024, when officers responded to reports of a shooting in the 800 block of 53rd Street around 11:15 p.m.
Rhodes was found suffering from a gunshot wound and transported to a local hospital in serious condition, where he later died from his injuries. Police determined that the shooting stemmed from an altercation involving multiple individuals at an apartment complex in the area.
In the aftermath of the shooting, Anderson Police arrested several suspects and conducted a SWAT team search of a residence in the 3500 block of Columbus Avenue, where additional suspects were detained without incident.
However, the investigation continued as detectives worked to identify all parties involved in the incident.
Working in collaboration with local agencies, detectives made significant progress in recent weeks, developing evidence that led them to Goode in Richmond.
He was subsequently transported to the Madison County Jail and formally charged with murder.
The Anderson Police Department emphasizes that the investigation remains active and ongoing and is asking anyone with information to contact Detective Alex Wagner at 765-648-6746. Anonymous tips can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.
