Officer-Involved Shooting on Near East Side Leaves One Dead

A man has died after a police shooting on the near east side of Indianapolis early Tuesday morning. The incident occurred in the 120 block of State Street, according to a report from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD).

Police were dispatched to the 1600 block of E. Washington Street at around 2:15 a.m. after a report of a person injured. A woman, who had been assaulted, was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Upon arrival, officers noticed a man with an active arrest warrant and attempted to speak with him, but he refused to cooperate and ran off, heading northbound on State Street. Police chased him and ordered him to stop, warning that they would use a Taser if he didn’t comply. At some point, one officer deployed his Taser, and the incident ended in gunfire, with the officer firing a shot that struck the man. The man was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

According to IMPD Chief Chris Bailey, officers rendered aid until medical personnel arrived, and investigators found a firearm lying next to the man’s body. The circumstances surrounding the man’s use of the firearm are still under investigation.

The officer involved in the shooting, as well as two other officers who witnessed the incident, were equipped with body cameras, which are being reviewed as part of the investigation. The IMPD Critical Incident Response Team and Internal Affairs are conducting parallel investigations, and the Use of Force Board will review the findings to determine whether the officers followed policies and procedures.

The man’s identity has not been released pending notification of next of kin, while the officer involved has been placed on administrative leave, standard procedure in police shootings. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact Det. Brian Lambert at (317) 327-3475 or Crime Stoppers at (317) 262-TIPS (8477).
