FISHERS —A man has died nearly a month after being shot by Fishers police officers during an arrest attempt.

Caleb Weis, 26, was shot by officers on November 6 while they were serving an arrest warrant for a 2024 homicide. He had been hospitalized since the shooting and succumbed to his injuries on Nov. 29.

Fishers Police were serving an arrest warrant on Weis, who was wanted in connection with the shooting death of Cameron Doaks at an Airbnb in Fishers in 2024.

While serving the warrant, Weis reportedly fired shots at officers. Officers returned fire, injuring the suspect. No officers were injured in the shooting.

Weis was arrested on multiple charges related to Doaks' death:

  • Attempted Murder (F2)
  • Voluntary Manslaughter (F2)
  • Aggravated Battery (F3)
  • Criminal Recklessness (F6)

Cameron Doaks' parents released a statement following Weis' arrest:

"Cameron was the center of our universe, and his loss has left an unbearable void. We're grateful for the Fishers PD's tireless efforts and seek justice to honor his memory. Senseless violence shatters lives, leaving scars that never fully heal."

Doaks was killed in 2024 at a rental property in Fishers. WRTV previously reported on the shooting at the rental property and how neighbors warned that crime can happen anywhere.

"We recognize the dangers, it's dangerous to be a police officer," Indiana State Police Sergeant John Perrine said. "But they had a plan, and again more details about what actually happen will be coming out."

Indiana State Police will be investigating the officer-involved shooting incident.
