22-year-old man hospitalized after carjacking, shooting in Avon
AVON, Ind. (WISH) — Police said they have found a vehicle involved in a carjacking and shooting Wednesday afternoon in Avon.
A 22-year-old man, Tyler Fischer, was shot and carjacked about 5:30 p.m. in the 100 block of Angelina Way, just of U.S. 36 and North Hendricks County Road 900 East, according to Brian Nugent, the Avon assistant chief of police. The location is between a hotel and a restaurant.
Fischer told the first police officers at the scene his car had been stolen.
Police said Fischer was driving his 2018 silver Ford Mustang in the area of the Regal Cinema near U.S. Highway 36 and Ronald Reagan Parkway when he was approached by two black male suspects who had a firearm. They then ordered Fischer to drive to the Key Bank near the theater. At that point, police said a dispute occurred and one of the suspects shot Fischer.
They applied a tourniquet to the man to stop bleeding. He later was taken to Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital in Indianapolis. Nugent said the man’s condition was not immediately known.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department found the man’s silver 2018 Ford Mustang on Wednesday evening at Bridgeport Road and U.S. 40. The car was abandoned just north of Indianapolis International Airport.
Anyone with information on the case was urged to call the Hendricks County Communications Center at (317) 839-8700 or Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.
