INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD is investigating after a man was found dead Tuesday morning on the city's west side. 

Police conducted a death investigation at a home in the 700 block of North Arnolda Avenue, near North Tibbs Avenue and West Michigan Street, around 4 a.m.

Police arrived and found a man, identified Wednesday by the Marion County Coroner's Office at 49-year-old James Caldwell, with traumatic injuries. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Homicide detectives responded to the scene to begin an investigation.
