Indianapolis police are searching for whoever opened fire on a man along the city's northeast side on April 27, leaving him dead after a rush to the hospital. Officers were called to the 2800 block of North Euclid Avenue, where they found the victim with gunshot wounds before he was taken for emergency treatment and later pronounced dead.
According to WISH-TV, investigators arrived to find the man in critical condition, then began combing the area for any sign of who pulled the trigger. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said no suspect was in custody as detectives canvassed for witnesses and evidence in an area described as a blend of homes and industrial sites northeast of downtown.
Search Warrant Sought At Home Near The Scene
Investigators told reporters they believe a disturbance led up to the gunfire and that they were waiting on a judge to rule on a search warrant for a home at the end of the block, WISH-TV reported. Forensics specialists and homicide detectives stayed on scene as neighbors were questioned and officers collected and documented evidence.
