One of the two men shot outside a home on Indianapolis’ near north side Wednesday night later died, according to Fox 59. The other victim was reported in stable condition. Police had not publicly identified a suspect as of Wednesday, WIBC reported.

What police have said about the shooting

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to the 3500 block of North Kenwood Avenue and found two adult men with gunshot wounds outside a home, Fox 59 reported. The reports describe a Wednesday-night shooting; Fox 59 said one man was critically injured and later died, while the other was stable.

WIBC, citing IMPD’s initial investigation, reported that a disagreement preceded the gunfire. The reports do not explain what the dispute was about or identify who was involved.

County gun-death figures are not incident counts

The Marion County Coroner’s Office recorded more than 220 people shot and killed countywide in 2023, FOX59 reported. That figure counts deaths, not all shooting incidents, including cases where people survived. It provides countywide background, but by itself says nothing about a trend over time or a pattern at the North Kenwood address.
