INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD arrested a 24-year-old man for his alleged role in a deadly stabbing that happened Sunday morning on the city's far east side.
On Feb. 5, officers responded to a report of a person shot just after 10:20 a.m. in the 11000 block of Whistler Drive, near 21st Street and German Church Road. While headed to the scene, police were updated that a person had been stabbed.
Officers arrived to find a man who had been stabbed inside a home.
The man was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The Marion County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 30-year-old Juan Carlos Parada.
According to an arrest report, Parada's sister called 911 after she found him bleeding on the stairs.
The arrest report says police found a large kitchen knife with a wooden handle broken off from the blade.
