IMPD makes quick arrest in murder investigation on far east side

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis police were quick to make an arrest following Friday night homicide on the city’s far east side.

The Marion County Coroner’s Office identified the man who died as Mark Miles Jr.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were called around 11 p.m. to a shooting at a home in the 3900 block of Ireland Drive. That’s a residential area near East 38th Street and North Post Road.

Police arrived and found Miles who had been shot. He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition but did not survive.

“IMPD homicide detectives responded to the scene to begin the investigation,” IMPD said in a release Monday. “Based on evidence, including cooperative community members, were able to identify the suspect, 18-year-old Terry Davis Jr.”

Davis was arrested Friday night and transported to the Marion County Jail, where he was being held Monday afternoon.

Preliminary information suggests Davis and Miles knew each other, according to police.

A preliminary hearing was set for 9 a.m. Tuesday, online jail records show.

Anyone with additional information about the shooting was asked to contact Det. Christopher Morgan at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or email him at Christopher.Morgan@indy.gov.
