A quiet stretch on Indianapolis' near northeast side turned into a homicide scene early Sunday after a man was shot just after 3 a.m., according to police.
Officers were called to the 2500 block of Brouse Avenue, where they found a male victim who was taken to a nearby hospital and later died, authorities said. FOX59 reports that officers arrived around 3 a.m. and located the wounded man. The victim's name has not been released, and police have not announced any suspect information or arrests.
Homicide detectives have opened an investigation and remained on scene Sunday morning, canvassing the area and processing evidence, according to FOX59. Investigators are asking anyone who may have video, photos, or other information tied to the shooting to contact them.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) is urging anyone with information to call its Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-TIPS (8477). WRTV lists the IMPD Homicide Office contact, and the Crime Stoppers site outlines how to submit tips and details potential rewards for information that leads to a felony arrest.
