Overview
- Police arrested Lewis James May, 18, in connection with gunfire on Kirkwood Avenue during Little 500 weekend and booked him on felony battery, criminal recklessness, and pointing a firearm charges.
- Detectives say video from businesses and cellphones captured a fight near the Five Guys that grew into a larger brawl before a man waved a handgun toward the crowd and fired into the sidewalk.
- Court documents state May was one of the people who fired and that five females ages 17 to 22 were hit by bullets or fragments during the overnight violence.
- Officers identified May after releasing suspect images on social media, arrested him without incident, and later seized a Taurus 9mm handgun and a distinctive shark-style backpack during a home search.
- Police believe a second shooting occurred shortly after near the Chipotle on Kirkwood Avenue that injured at least three women, and they are asking anyone with footage to call Detective Chris Scott at 812-339-4477.
