Woman arrested for Avon shooting after chase, crash in Indianapolis

The shooting at Mosaic Apartments left one person in critical condition and injured a man, later identified as one of two suspects in the shooting.

AVON, Indiana — Police have arrested two people for their roles in a shooting during a home invasion at an Avon apartment complex on Friday afternoon. 

The first suspect, 18-year-old Jermaine Montrel Cole, was arrested Saturday for burglary of a dwelling that results in serious bodily injury. 

Avon Police Asst. Chief Brian Nugent said about 30 minutes later, officers with IMPD and the Indiana Crime Guns Task Force found Cole's suspected female accomplice and attempted to arrest her. 

She led police on a chase before crashing on the near southeast side of Indianapolis, near the intersection of East Pleasant Run Parkway Drive North and Churchman Avenue. 

After the crash, the woman, who police have not named, was arrested and taken to an Indianapolis hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

13News sent crews to the crash scene, where we found a police car had been damaged in the chase and subsequent crash. Police have not said if there were any other injuries in that crash.
