INDIANAPOLIS — A man and a three-year-old boy were killed in a shooting Monday night inside a car at a shopping center at 75th Street and Shadeland Avenue on the northeast side, Indianapolis police say.

Medics and IMPD were called shortly before 9:30 p.m. Monday to a retail business along North Shadeland Avenue. The shooting happened at the Shadeland Station Shopping Center.

There Jaishawn Johnson, 22, was found dead. A little boy named Armonie Booker, 3, was also found shot and taken to Riley Hospital. Both were found shot inside a parked car at the shopping center.

Marchelle Hall confirmed the little boy’s death at Riley in a release a few hours after the shooting happened.

Sgt. William Young, a spokesman for IMPD, says details that can be shared are few, and investigators were working to confirm what led to the shooting.

Witnesses at the scene said a fight led up to the shooting, but police could not confirm those reports.

Police did not share any information on a suspect being sought.
