Police: Woman killed in south side shooting was not intended target

This is the second time in two days IMPD said a victim, believed to be innocent and uninvolved, was hit by gunshots fired into their home.

INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD homicide detectives are investigating a deadly shooting Sunday morning in the Pine Glen Apartments off Hanna Avenue and South Meridian Street.

Police said shots came from outside the apartment on Burkhart Drive around 2:30 a.m. A woman was wounded and taken to the hospital, where she died.

The Marion County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 55-year-old Catrina D. Williams.

Investigators believe she was not the intended target, but did not share information about any suspects or what may have led to the shooting.

This is the second time in two days IMPD said a victim, believed to be innocent and uninvolved, was hit by gunshots fired into their home.

Early Saturday, a 10-year-old boy went to the hospital after someone fired shots at his house near Forest Manor Park at 21st Street and Colorado Avenue. 

Police said, thankfully, the boy's injuries were non-life-threatening.
