Latest: The Marion County Coroner’s Office has identified the man who died as 21-year-old Mauro Quintero.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A man found outside a vehicle in an apartment complex died after being shot Tuesday afternoon, police say.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were sent about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday to the 9100 block of East 38th Place. That location is at Arborstone Apartments, northeast of the intersection of Post Road and East 38th Street.

Officers arrived to find the man with gunshot wound injuries. He died at the scene. The man’s name was not immediately shared publicly.

Detectives think the shooting suspect and man shot knew each other.

IMPD Lt. Shane Foley said, “The suspect was in the driver’s side of the vehicle; the victim was in the passenger side of the (same) vehicle; and, at some point, shots were fired resulting in the victim being struck.”

The IMPD lieutenant did not know if the man shot is a resident of the apartments.

A neighbor, who did not want to give her name, said she’s seen a lot of crime at the apartment complex, including a shooting just feet from her doorstep. “It’s very dangerous out here. Originally when I moved in, a lady got stabbed that same night, so there’s been a lot of violence out here.”

After the shooting, the suspect ran south with a firearm. IMPD established a perimeter to search for the suspect, but that perimeter had been lifted by 3:20 p.m. Tuesday. However, people in the area were asked to use caution.

The shooting occured right before many children that live in the complex arrived home from school. Some of them had to walk past the crime scene on their way home.

Foley said, “Let me start off by saying … middle of the afternoon, this community, this neighborhood is grieving the loss of an individual. There’s an individual deceased in this apartment complex that has families, that has children. This is not the way that people should have to live.”

The IMPD lieutenant says members of the community have stepped forward with information, and investigators hope to hear from more.

Detectives were seeking surveillance video from the area.

IMPD has responded to other shootings and homicides in the area, Foley says.
