IMPD investigates double shooting on South State Avenue

It happened around 8:15 p.m. Sunday in the 1600 block of South State Avenue at Palmer Street.

INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis police are investigating a shooting on the city's near southeast side that sent two people to hospitals Sunday evening.

It happened around 8:15 p.m. in the 1600 block of State Avenue at Palmer Street, which is just north of Minnesota Street.

Few details were immediately available, but an IMPD spokesperson said officers investigating a report of a shooting found two people who had apparently been shot.

A third person was injured in the incident. Their injuries weren't specified, but IMPD said they were "consistent with trauma."

The IMPD SWAT team responded to assist with a person refusing to come out of the home.

Police later confirmed the person surrendered and was taken into custody without further incident. Police also took another person into custody, but their role and involvement in the incident is still being determined.

After conducting a preliminary investigation, detectives learned a fight between two men preceded the shooting.

According to police, 31-year-old Damien Boyce pulled out a gun and hit the other male with a brick. During the fight, Boyce and the other man were both shot.

Police said Boyce left the scene and broke into a nearby home with a gun. Police later arrested Boyce for burglary, unlawful possession, criminal recklessness and battery.

Detectives are still trying to determine who shot Boyce and the man.
