INDIANAPOLIS — A man and woman were found dead inside a southwest Indianapolis home early Friday following a shooting. A person of interest in the incident, who shot himself when approached by police a few hours later, died on Monday, IMPD said.
Shortly after midnight on Friday, Feb. 17, officers responded to the 7200 block of Wellwood Drive, near State Road 37 and Southport Road, for a report of two people shot.
They found a man and woman, later identified by the Marion County Coroner's Office as 20-year-old Collin Huddleston and 53-year-old Kimberly Huddleston, with apparent gunshot wounds. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
Homicide detectives responded to begin an investigation. Early Friday morning, IMPD said the detectives were confident the shooting was not a random act, and that a person of interest who was known to the victims had been identified.
Around 2:30 a.m., officers in the 3200 block of South McClure Street, near Kentucky Avenue and Holt Road, located a man, who was believed to be the person of interest in the shooting, outside a house.
When officers approached the man, he shot himself, IMPD said.
The man was taken to a local hospital in "grave condition." On Tuesday, Feb. 21, IMPD said the man, identified by the Marion County Coroner's Office as 35-year-old Steven Huddleston, died Monday. His manner of death was ruled a suicide.
