Man dies after found in tent with gunshot wound in Bloomington, Indiana

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WISH) — A 52-year-old man died after being found shot Tuesday afternoon in a wooded area near a homeless shelter, Bloomington police say.

Curtis Butler is believed to have died from a gunshot wound. Monroe County Coroner Joani Stalcup says an autopsy was scheduled for Thursday.

Bloomington Police Department was called to reports of shots fired about 1:45 p.m. Tuesday in the 200 block of South Westplex Avenue. That’s west of I-69 off West Third Street near the Wheeler Mission.

Butler was found inside a tent with a gunshot wound.

Investigators, who were searching for a suspect, think the shooter and Butler knew each other.

No arrest had been made as of early Tuesday night.
