INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A person is dead after a shooting on the city’s east side on Sunday night.
Around 9:11 p.m. Sunday, officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department responded to a report of a person shot near the 2000 block of North Bosart Avenue. That is a residential area on the city’s east side. When officers arrived to the location, they found a person in critical condition with gunshot wounds.
At 10:05 p.m. Sunday, IMPD said the person was pronounced dead.
