INDIANAPOLIS — Over two months after a warrant was issued for his arrest, Indianapolis police have arrested a suspect in a near east side shooting that left a victim in critical condition.
Online jail records show Jason Simmons, 30, is being held on preliminary charges of aggravated battery and pointing a firearm for the April 20 shooting.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were called to the area of East Michigan Street and North Linwood Drive around 11:25 p.m. April 20 to investigate a person shot.
There they found a victim with a gunshot wound. They were originally reported to be in critical condition, but IMPD later updated that they had stabilized.
During the early investigation, detectives identified Simmons as a suspect. Prosecutors issued a warrant for Simmons on April 29, and he was not taken into custody until Tuesday.
He was being held at the Marion County jail as of Wednesday morning.
A court date has not been set.
