INDIANAPOLIS — A man arrested after he shot a man in the face and critically injured him told an officer his life was gone now and he had to live with that, according to a court document.
John May II, 44, was arrested by Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers after he shot a Timothy Lewis II, 27, about 3:15 p.m. Sunday in the 1600 block of Harlan Street, according to a preliminary probable cause affidavit.
