INDIANAPOLIS — One person died in a shooting on the northeast side of Indianapolis Sunday night.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said the shooting happened in the 7800 block of Musket Street, which is near East 75th Street and Shadeland Avenue.
Police were called to the area just before 8 p.m. on a report of a person shot. When they arrived, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was later pronounced dead at the scene. The Marion County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 19-year-old Cameron Brown.
Shortly after that incident, a person who had been shot walked into Community North Hospital. Police believe the two incidents are connected but need further investigation to confirm.
Police are asking the public to come forward with any information they have about the shooting.
"Without the community's involvement, without people helping us, there is no way we can solve these crimes. It's up to the community to come out and give us information. We have to work together to try to decrease all these violent crimes and right now, the department has a laser focus on that, but we cannot do it alone," said Capt. Donald Weilhamer on behalf of IMPD.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.
