INDIANAPOLIS — One person was killed in a shooting on the far east side of Indianapolis.
The shooting happened just before 8 p.m. Tuesday in the 10100 block of John Marshall Drive North in the Amber Woods apartment complex.
Officers arrived to the scene to find a person who had apparently been shot. That victim was transported to the hospital where they were reported to be in critical condition.
Police said the male victim later died from his injuries.
On Oct. 4, the Marion County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 46-year-old Robert Louis Hornbuckle Jr.
There is no information at this time about a possible motive or suspect in the shooting.
A resident of the apartment complex told 13News Tuesday night they were sitting inside when they heard the gunshots. When they looked outside, a group of people were surrounding a white van.
Police say the person behind the wheel of the van was shot, then drove a short distance before the vehicle came to a stop.
A woman who lives near the scene said the violence in the apartment complex has become too much.
"I don't let my kids move around like that because of all the things that go on out here. Especially my 4-year-old," she said. "(I'm) so scared with them being out here. Like I said, I actually had my house shot through and my kids were in the same room when the shots came through. Thank God nobody was hit."
The shooting is the latest incident of gun violence at the apartment complex, where at least four deadly shootings have taken place in 2023.
On Sunday morning, 32-year-old Stephen Hale was shot and killed at the complex. Police said Tuesday night they identified the person responsible for that shooting, but released the person after an interview and a consultation with the Marion County Prosecutor's Office. Police said there is possibly a self-defense claim in the case.
Residents told 13News on Monday they've had enough and are ready to move.
"I've been out here 30-plus years and I am so ready to go,” a female resident, who wanted to remain anonymous, said. “Just last year, there was a shooting out here again and there was a body in my backyard. He was just laying there. I'm like, 'OK, I've had it.' It's just a little too close to home."
