A failed carjacking left a man dead after police say the person he was targeting ended up shooting him in the Trader’s Point shopping complex on the city’s northwest side early Wednesday.
At 5:41 a.m. Wednesday, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police were called to the 5700 block of W 86th Street about a reported carjacking attempt. While en route, police say officers were told that a person had been shot.
Arriving officers found a man who had been shot. He was sent to the hospital in critical condition by emergency medical personnel but later died due to his injuries, police said.
Officers then learned that three suspects attempted to rob two people.
According to police, two of the suspects were armed and attempted to carjack a person in the Trader’s Point shopping complex, but the person escaped in their vehicle and called 911.
The two armed suspects then attempted to carjack another person, but that person, who was armed, shot one of the suspects in the parking lot.
The two other suspects in the robbery fled after the shooting, according to police.
A knife was also located and taken into evidence, according to police.
Both people who were targeted stayed at the scene and cooperated with police, according to an IMPD news release.
Police are now investigating the shooting as a homicide.
Anyone with information about this case can reach the department’s Aggravated Assault Office at 317-327-3475.
