An Indianapolis mom who fatally shot her 9-year-old son in an “unthinkable” murder-suicide shared a GoFundMe for Lindsay Clancy’s family years before her own downfall, according to a social media post.
Shatayvia Alisha Calderon, 33, and her son, Julian, were found dead with gunshot wounds in their apartment on Monday afternoon, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
A police spokesperson told The Post the deadly scene is “believed to be a murder-suicide in which the mother killed her son and then herself.”
“This is unthinkable. And we’re here to not only investigate, but to provide resources as well. Not only here on scene, but in the days, weeks that follow this,” Officer Drew Brown told WTHR.
Cops rushed to the scene just after 1 p.m. following a 911 call reporting two people shot at a condominium complex in the 4400 block of Village Lane, according to IMPD.
Officers entered the residence and found the mother and child unresponsive.
Medical officials pronounced them dead on the spot, and a firearm was recovered nearby.
Authorities have not revealed what triggered the fatal shooting, though investigators confirmed they have been interviewing a cooperative witness.
Nearly three years before the bloodshed, Calderon posted a fundraiser on Facebook for Patrick Clancy, seeking financial support for the grieving father as he navigated an “unimaginable tragedy.”
“On behalf of the extended Clancy Family we invite you to offer support for Patrick as he navigates an unimaginable tragedy,” the GoFundMe description read.
“We appreciate your thoughts, prayers, and outreach in support,” the page continued.
Clancy’s wife, Lindsay, 36, stood trial for killing the couple’s three young kids with exercise bands inside their Duxbury, Mass., home on Jan. 24, 2023.
Lindsay argued she should be found not guilty by reason of insanity on the grounds that she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis.
The jury declared a mistrial in early September and a new trial date has not been set.
