INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A woman died in a shooting Thursday night at an apartment complex on the east side, police say.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department was called just before 7:25 p.m. Thursday to a disturbance, a person with a firearm, and a person shot in the 1400 block of South Bancroft Street. That’s in the Rowney Terrace Apartments northwest of the intersection of Southeastern Avenue and South Emerson Avenue.

Officers arrived to find the woman dead in the yard of a home, IMPD said in a news release. Photos from the scene showed police tape surrounding a playground in the apartment complex.

IMPD said in the release, “Detectives believe the disturbance involved people who were known to one another and the shooting was associated with the disturbance.”

The Marion County Coroner’s Office will later release the woman’s name, IMPD says.

Anyone with information was asked to call IMPD Detective Steven Gray at 317-327-3475 or steven.gray@indy.gov.
