INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officials have named the man who was shot by police this weekend.

He has been identified as 37-year old Ivan Deida of Indianapolis.

Police were called to a home on North Hamilton Avenue early Sunday morning after neighbors reported seeing a man trying to break into a duplex. Police say shots and screams were heard from inside the house. A victim, believed to be Deida’s ex-girlfriend, was shot in the face. She was later listed in stable condition.
