INDIANAPOLIS — Three people are dead after a shooting on the east side of Indianapolis early Sunday morning.
It happened just after 3 a.m. near Ritter Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue. All three victims were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have not revealed any additional information about the circumstances of the shooting or possible suspects.
There was a large gathering of people in the area near the Grand nightclub. Police are working to find out if the club was open overnight when the shooting happened and if anything happened inside.
Detectives believe the shooting was an isolated incident and the public is not at risk. There were at least 50 shell casings on the ground at the scene, but it's unclear how many people and guns were involved.
Late Sunday, the Marion County Coroner's Office said the victims were James Upshaw, 27, Juan Reveria, 32 and Shanya Jones, 33.
Shortly after the shooting, there were four other shooting victims who walked into Community Hospital East for treatment. They were stable and transferred to another hospital.
It is unclear whether those victims were involved in the shooting at Ritter and Mass Ave., or if they were victims of a separate incident. Police are investigating if there is a connection between the two.
IMPD had finally left the scene and reopened Massachusetts Avenue by 9:30 a.m.
