IMPD: Weekend shootings leave 2 men dead; 1 arrested

The deadly shootings happened Friday night in separate incidents on the east and far east sides.

INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD detectives are investigating several weekend shootings that have left at least two men dead.

The Marion County Coroner's Office confirmed identies of the victims on Monday as 23-year-old Frederick Miles Jr. and 44-year-old Darryl Ransom.

Detectives have arrested a suspect, 32-year-old David Ice, in the shooting of Ransom on the east side Friday night. 

Police say Ice and Ransom were involved in a dispute over money for narcotics around 10:30 p.m. in the 600 block of North Dearborn Street, which is one block north of Michigan Street between Rural Street and Sherman Drive.

Officers were called to the scene on a reported shooting and found Ransom shot inside the house. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene.  

Homicide detectives located Ice about five hours after the shooting and arrested him on a preliminary charge of murder.

The Marion County Prosecutor's Office will make the final charging decision.

Just after 7 p.m. Friday night, IMPD officers responded to the 8800 block of Montery Court on the far east side, near 42nd Street and Post Road, on a report of a person shot. 

They found Miles shot outside the house, and he was described as stable by police when he left in an ambulance. However, his condition worsened and he died shortly after arriving at the hospital.

Anyone with information about this shooting should contact Detective Jesus Soria at 317-327-3475 or e-mail him at Jesus.SoriaJr@indy.gov.
