Person fatally shot on Indy’s east side near Tuxedo Park

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — This story has been updated to include the victim’s name.

Indianapolis police say a man was fatally shot early Saturday morning on the city’s east side near Tuxedo Park.

Online police reports show Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were first called to the 3800 block of East Washington Street near Bradley Avenue around 6 a.m. on a shots fired report.

That intersection is in a business and residential area with gas stations and an Auto Zone on the city’s east side.

Police arrived and soon found a man, later identified as 31-year-old Joshua Davis, suffering a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

News 8 at the scene learned from IMPD that before finding the victim, multiple 911 callers reported hearing several shots fired in the area. They also said that multiple firearms were recovered from the scene, and possible suspects have been detained for questioning.

Ofc. Drew Brown, a public information officer with IMPD, says responding to instances like these is always tragic.

“I mean, we’ve had a loss of life, an individual has lost their life, and a family is going to be grieving something,” Brown said. “We hate responding to violence that we’ve seen in this city, and it has continued this morning as we wake up.”

Several investigators were still on scene as of 8:30 a.m. Saturday.

IMPD tells News 8 this is the ninth person shot in the last 24 hours. This is only fatal shooting.
