1 dead, 2 hurt after shooting on southeast side of Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — One person is dead and two others were critically injured Thursday in a shooting on the city’s southeast side, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said in a news release.
The victim was identified Friday as Sebastian Prayer Jones, 29.
At 8:51 p.m. Thursday, IMPD Southeast District officers responded to a report of a person shot in the 3200 block of Capsella Lane. That is a residential area on the southwest of the I-465/I-74 interchange.
Officers arrived to the scene and found three people with gunshot wounds. Officers administered medical aid to the injured people until medics arrived. A tourniquet was applied to one of them.
One of the people found shot was pronounced dead at the scene. IMPD said Friday that one victim was in critical condition and the other was stable.
Investigators are unsure if the three people shot are suspects.
Two witnesses, who were in the house at the time of the shooting, jumped out of a window and were cooperating with investigators.
