1 dead, 2 injured in east side shooting

Two shooting victims were found a few blocks apart. Around the same time, another shooting victim walked in to Community East Hospital.

INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD is investigating a shooting incident on the near east side Wednesday night that killed one man and wounded two others.

Just before 11 p.m., officers responded to reports of a person shot in the 1300 block of North Oxford Street.

They located a man behind a home who appeared to be shot, according to IMPD. That victim was later pronounced dead by medics at the scene.

Officers found another man with a gunshot wound near 10th and Rural streets a few blocks south of where they located the first man. That man was taken to the hospital in stable condition.  

Around the same time, officers also got a call for a man who showed up at Community East Hospital on Ritter Avenue. He also appeared to be shot and was in stable condition. 

Detectives determined all three men were shot in the same incident at 2821 E. 13th St., which is on the block bordered by Rural and Oxford streets.

Authorities have not shared the identities of three victims. The Marion County Coroner's Office will determine a cause of death and release the name of the deceased once relatives have been notified.

Anyone with information about these shootings should call the IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.
