INDIANAPOLIS –A man was killed in a shooting on the northwest side of Indianapolis Monday morning.
IMPD was dispatched to Lawndale Avenue around 1:50 am and they found a man shot. They believe the shooting happened on Diamond Lane, but he went to the Lawndale address to get help from his neighbor. This is near 38th street and High School Road.
A SWAT team was called and they went to the Diamond Lane address. At first, they couldn’t get a response, but they say someone in that home came out to give them the information they needed.
Medics took the man from the Lawndale address to a hospital. He later died from his injuries at the hospital.
“You know, it’s just getting tough out here and it hurts our heart that we still are having these incidents and we want it to stop. Stop the violence, stop the crime,” said IMPD Nightwatch Captain Kimberly Young at the scene.
Police have spoken to a person of interest. No arrests have been made.
