INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A man found shot Monday night has died, and Indianapolis police were telling people to avoid a residential area on the near-southwest side due to the active investigation.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department was called shortly after 6:20 p.m. Monday in the 1300 block of Kappes Street. That’s a residential area south of West Morris Street between South Belmont Avenue and South Harding Street.

While at the scene, police say they learned a possible suspect had barricaded themselves inside a nearby home.

News media personnel were asked to gather a few blocks away because the scene was not safe, IMPD said in a notification issued at 7:05 p.m.

About 7:30 p.m., police on the X platform told residents to avoid the area “due to an active investigation.” Officer William Young, an IMPD spokesman, said that status was not expected to change soon.

A SWAT team arrived to assist officers. Images from the scene showed Indiana State Police had responded to the shooting as well as a BearCat tactical vehicle.

Shortly before 11 p.m., IMPD entered the residence, but the suspect wasn’t located.

Investigators with both IMPD and state police are working to gather more information on the suspect.

Anyone with information about this incident should contact Detective Jose Torres at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or e-mail him at Jose.Torres@indy.gov

This story was corrected to show the residential area is on the near-southwest side.
