INDIANAPOLIS — EDITOR'S NOTE: The victim was previously described as a man in his 50s. The Marion County Coroner's Office has since identified the victim as a 46-year-old. This story has been updated to reflect his correct age.
A man was shot and killed Sunday at an apartment complex on the northeast side of Indianapolis, police said.
Police said they were called at around 3 p.m. to the complex, located in the 4000 block of Hampshire Court near North Post Road and 42nd Street.
IMPD said officers found a man inside his apartment who had been shot multiple times. The man, identified as 46-year-old Quelo Hogue, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Homicide detectives are investigating the shooting. Investigators said witnesses and phone calls are helping them get some leads, but so far no arrests have been made.
This is Indianapolis' 22 homicide in 23 days.
It happened at the Towne and Terrace Apartment complex, which has been plagued by violent crime for years — so much so that the city has spent nearly a decade working to address complaints of drug activity, violence and rundown buildings.
Most recently, Mayor Joe Hogsett announced last month an agreement with the Towne & Terrace group to improve the apartments. As part of the agreement, the city will install IMPD security cameras and additional lighting.
The city planned to launch an outreach effort this month connecting residents with workforce programs, mental health services and legal support.
IMPD is continuing to ask community members to come forward with information on this case.
Anyone with information is being encouraged to contact Det. David Miller at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or David.Miller2@indy.gov.
