Man Killed in East Side Shooting, Police Seek Tips After Conflicting Reports

Unclear timing and location in local accounts leave open whether investigators are probing one fatal shooting or two separate incidents.

Overview

  • Police found an adult male with injuries consistent with gunshot wounds and he later died at a hospital.
  • IMPD homicide detectives have taken over the investigation and officers have not released a suspect description or motive.
  • Authorities asked anyone with information to contact Detective Shem Ragsdale at the IMPD Homicide Office or to submit anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers.
  • Two local reports give different scenes and times — one names the 200 block of South Franklin Road and the other names the 2000 block of East Washington Street — and police clarification is pending.
  • The differing accounts complicate the response for neighbors and investigators and officials say more details will be released as the probe continues.
