IMPD detectives called to multiple homicides Sunday morning

Homicide detectives were called to a shooting downtown and a deadly stabbing on the far east side Sunday morning.

INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD detectives were investigating multiple homicides Sunday morning - one at a downtown gas station and another at a far east side apartment complex.

922 North Delaware triple shooting

Shortly after 12:15 a.m., IMPD officers were called to the BP gas station at the corner of Delaware and St. Joseph streets on a report of a person shot. Police said three men were shot at that location.

When officers arrived, they found a man who had been shot. That man was taken to the hospital in critical condition and pronounced dead after arriving at the hospital.

The Marion County Coroner's Office identified the deceased as 19-year-old Rodney Vinson Hanley.

Around the same time, IMPD officers were told a man who had been shot walked into the Indianapolis Fire Department headquarters on Fort Wayne Avenue and a third man who had been shot showed up at Eskenazi Hospital. 

One of the men was "awake and breathing." IMPD didn't give a condition for the other man. 

Further investigation revealed both men were injured in the shooting on North Delaware Street. 

Investigators were still processing the crime scene five hours after the initial call and have not shared any information about suspects or what led up to the shooting.

Investigators believe this is an isolated incident and that there is no active threat to the area.

Authorities have not shared updated conditions of the other two men who were shot.

Anyone with information about this shooting is asked to contact Det. Ronald Sayles at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or Ronald.Sayles@indy.gov. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477 or (TIPS).
