INDIANAPOLIS — Metro Police homicide detectives are investigating the death of a woman on Saturday night at Lake Castleton Apartments at 75th Street and Shadeland Avenue.
IMPD North District officers were dispatched to Constitution Drive just before 9:30 p.m. on a report of a person stabbed.
When officers arrived, they approached the rear of the apartment and observed blood on the patio blinds and interior walls. The patio door was also open.
Officers looked into the apartment and saw a man inside who was wearing dark clothes and a dark backpack. He was standing at the front door looking through the peephole, where additional officers were attempting to make contact.
IMPD said officers entered the apartment by going through the open patio door and saw the man was holding a knife. They announced themselves and ordered the man to drop the knife. When he complied, officers told him to get on the ground and he was placed in handcuffs without further incident.
Inside the apartment, officers found a woman who appeared to be stabbed, and medics pronounced the victim dead on the scene.
With the suspect in custody, police say there's no additional threat to the public.
IMPD homicide detectives went to the scene and began an investigation into the woman's death.
IMPD said the suspect's identity is not being released at this time to protect and maintain the integrity of this investigation. The victim was later identified as 53-year-old Tiffany Gough.
