INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Authorities are responding after two people died following two separate shootings early Sunday.
The first happened just after 3:30 a.m. in the 1400 block of North Tremont Street when officials said a woman was shot dead.
The woman was later identified as 28-year-old Jasmine Moore.
