IMPD initially reported that Bauman was in critical condition; she later died from her injuries. The agency also indicated that its officers were investigating the shooting.
IMPD, however, did not make any additional information on the shooting available because the Beech Grove Police Department ultimately ended up leading the investigation.
BGPD Chief Michael Maurice reported that Bauman, who was found in Riva Ridge Drive, was actually involved in a shooting that is believed to have unfolded in the 5400 block of Sagebrush Avenue.
