INDIANAPOLIS -- A victim was left in critical condition Tuesday night by a shooting on the south side of the Butler-Tarkington Neighborhood.
The shooting happened shortly after 7:00 p.m. near the intersection of Rookwood and Bernard Avenue. The area is located between 38th Street and Butler University's campus, and is one that has been a major target of the Indianapolis Ten Point Coalition after four people were killed in the neighborhood last year.
Police arrived on scene to find a person shot and in critical condition.
Witnesses reported a possible suspect riding away from the area on a bicycle.
The intersection is just three blocks from the sites where 20-year-old Marshawn Frazier and 19-year-old Malik Perry were killed last year. Butler-Tarkington also saw the shooting deaths of 32-year-old Clarence "Wade" Havvard and 10-year-old Deshaun Swanson in 2015. Those murders remain unsolved.
