The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said in an email Tuesday that it had “no further updates on this incident.” “The investigation remains active and ongoing.”
Kennebrew worked as a bartender and co-owned a pub in Gary, Indiana. She was in Indianapolis over the weekend attending a party at another club while the NBA All-Star Game event was being held in Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Star reported.
“I don’t know exactly what happened, but Crystal is gone,” childhood friend Jalisa Joseph told the newspaper.

“She brought people together, and even in her absence, she keeps us together,” Joseph said. “After this incident happened, many of her family members called and said she was Gary’s favorite bartender because she always remembered what they needed.”
