“It appears it was a disturbance between one or more individuals, including the victim,” IMPD Night Watch Captain Richard Ray said of the circumstances that preceded the shooting. “We’re still trying to piece together whether it was a domestic or not or whether it was just a regular disturbance. We want to make sure we get accurate information to share before we do so. Our officers are still trying to gather witnesses and speak to witnesses and get them ready for our detectives as they arrive on scene so they can do interviews with them.

“We’re also trying to get suspect information so we can get that out to the public and try and apprehend that person and bring them held to justice.”

Officials are encouraging those with information on Tuesday night’s shooting to contact IMPD at (317) 327-3475 or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at (317) 262-8477.
