INDIANAPOLIS — One person is dead after a shooting on the west side of Indianapolis early Sunday.
Police said they received a report of a person shot near West 30th Street and Lafayette Road around 3 a.m. May 26.
Officers arrived to find 38-year-old Quincey Ross who had been shot. Medics transported the victim to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
"Drinking, guns...just go home," said Tiffany Wesseler, has lived in the Eagledale neighborhood for decades.
She said in the parking lot where Ross was fatally shot, people come to party when the liquor store closes.
"There's been times when it's so full, they can't get in. There's been times when there was a police officer sitting over there," Wesseler said.
IMPD confirmed an off-duty officer sat in the liquor store's parking lot every weekend last year from July to mid-October.
It's unclear who paid the off-duty officer during those weekends.
But since then, things have gone back to the way they were.
"It's just really sad because our neighborhood is old, but yet the people that live here, they pick up their trash, they take care of things, and they keep their eye out for each other, but when you have someone who doesn't want to participate in doing the right thing, that's when we have a problem," Wesseler said.
According to IMPD reports, police responded to the liquor store's address one other time this year prior to Ross' shooting death. That incident was for lost property in April.
Police have not said whether they think Ross' death was connected to any larger gathering.
13News reached out to the liquor store about what neighbors told us, but at last check, we have not heard back from them.
IMPD says no one has been arrested for shooting and killing Ross.
