Man dies, woman critically hurt in shooting on Graceland Avenue

Man dead, woman critically hurt after shooting

UPDATE: The Marion County Coroner’s Office identified on Thursday the man shot and killed as 46-year-old David Lopez.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A man was dead and a woman was in critical condition after a shooting Wednesday night in a residential area on the city’s near-north side, Indianapolis police say.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department was called just before 7 p.m. Wednesday to a report of a person shot in the 3300 block of Graceland Avenue. That’s a few blocks southwest of the intersection of 38th Street and Meridian Street.

The person in critical condition was taken to a hospital.

The Marion County Coroner’s Office will release the names of the man and woman once next-of-kin is notified, police say.

IMPD said in a news release issued at 9:19 p.m. Wednesday, “Detectives are investigating the possibility that this is a murder-suicide incident, but this determination has not been made at this time.”

A neighbor made the call to police, an IMPD captain at the scene said. IMPD’s victim assistance unit escorted three juveniles older than 10 from the scene. They were unhurt. Indiana Department of Child Services was assisting IMPD.

A single firearm was found at the scene.

Anyone with information was asked to call IMPD Detective Shem Ragsdale at 317-327-3475 or e-mail the detective at shem.ragsdale@indy.gov.
