INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A man is dead after a stabbing on the city’s south side on Friday night, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

Around 7:53 p.m. Friday, IMPD officers responded to a report of a person stabbed in the 200 block of Stephanie Lane. That is at the County Club Apartments between South Meridian Street and Madison Avenue on the city’s south side.
