INDIANAPOLIS — Police are investigating after they found a man dead while responding to a call for shots fired on the city's northeast side.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were called to the 2900 block of N. Chester Avenue just around 12:30 p.m. for a report of shots being fired. Arriving officers located a person that appeared to have been shot dead at the scene.
According to Sgt. Genae Cook, officers made forcible entry into the home from which the call came from due to locked doors. While outside, the officers could see the person with gunshot wounds.
Cook explained the shots were fired inside the home and, while information is preliminary right now and can change, it appears the incident occurred between people that knew each other.
On Feb. 14, the victim was identified by the Marion County Coroner's Office as 67-year-old Jimmie Carl Hardiman.
