INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD arrested an 18-year-old for his alleged involvement in a shooting Sunday morning that left one person in critically injured on the city's far east side.
IMPD officers responded to the Amber Woods Apartments on John Jay Drive, near North Mitthoefer Road and East 38th Street, around 4:30 a.m. for a report of a person shot.
Police found a man who had been shot. Medics took him to a local hospital in critical condition.
Detectives spoke with several people at the scene and learned the suspect was still inside the apartment building.
Hours after the shooting, police said the suspect, later identified as 18-year-old Terrell Williams, exited the apartment complex, and police took him into custody without incident.
According to an arrest report, Williams told police the man touched him inappropriately while he was sleeping, which caused him to wake up. Williams said the two started arguing, and the victim allegedly pushed Williams to the floor. That's when Williams said he shot the man in the stomach.
The Marion County Prosecutor's Office will make the final charging decisions.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Detective Rodney Bradburn at the IMPD Aggravated Assault/Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or email at Rodney.Bradburn@indy.gov.
