INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A man with gunshot wounds died after a shooting Friday night in a business area on the city’s northwest side, Indianapolis police say.
He was identified as 32-year-old Saad Dine Riha, the Marion County coroner said Monday.
Medics and Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were called about 8:35 p.m. Friday to a report of a person shot in the 4100 block of Shore Drive. That street is northwest of the I-465 interchange for East 38th Street.
Police said Riha was having a picnic with a couple of friends when two other people walked up and some sort of disturbance happened before the shooting.
No arrests have been announced.
IMPD says a chase of the suspects ended in the 4600 block of West 59th Street. That’s east of the intersection with Georgetown Road, and about 4 miles northeast of the shooting scene.
IMPD on Monday said they determined that the suspects who fled the scene weren’t connected to the shooting.
One suspect was apprehended nearby in the 4300 block of Lake Field Trace. Lake Field Trace is in the Guion Lakes residential subdivision, located southwest of the intersection of West 59th Street and Guion Road.
IMPD was continuing its investigation and canvassing for security camera footage.
Anyone with information was asked to contact Det. Steven Gray at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or by email at Steven.Gray@indy.gov.
