Person killed in hit-and-run at Lafayette Road, Kessler Boulevard

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — This story has been updated to include the victim’s name.

Indianapolis police say a person was killed in a hit-and-run on the near northwest side Sunday morning.

The Marion County Coroner’s Office identified the person as James Lee Poole, 66.

Online police reports show Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were dispatched to the intersection of Lafayette Road and West Kessler Boulevard North Drive around 7:50 a.m. to investigate an accident with injuries.

That’s in a business and residential area just north of West 16th Street.

IMPD said in an update later Sunday morning that Poole was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but later died.

It was unclear what kind of vehicle fled the scene or if anyone else was injured in the incident.
