INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis recorded its 15th homicide of the year Tuesday morning when a person was found fatally stabbed on a downtown Indianapolis street.
According to IMPD, officers reported to 200 S. Illinois Street, near the intersection of Illinois and Georgia streets, for a report of a person dead. When they arrived they located an apparent adult male dead with stabbed wounds.
The man died at the scene.
On Thursday, the Marion County Coroner's Office identified the man as 50-year-old Cornelius DeWayne Coleman.
With the help of witnesses in the area, detectives were able to get a description of a possible suspect. Additional information received led officers and investigators to believe the suspect was inside a nearby garage.
