Man found dead with gunshot wound near city’s east side

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A homicide investigation was underway Tuesday after Indianapolis police say they found a man dead with a gunshot wound near an east side industrial area.

The Marion County Coroner’s Office on Friday identified the man as Duron Martin Jr., 21. His death was ruled a homicide.

Online police reports show that Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were called to the intersection of East 21st and Sheldon streets around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday for a “person down” investigation.

That intersection is near a residential neighborhood and industrial area just east of Dr. Andrew J. Brown Avenue.

According to IMPD, officers arrived and found the man, who was died at the scene.

Police found shell casings at the scene, but did not provide information on potential suspects.

Anyone with information on the shooting was asked to contact Det. Jeremy Ingram at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or by email at Jeremy.Ingram@indy.gov.
