INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD homicide detectives are investigating a triple shooting at a west side apartment complex that left a man and a woman dead and another woman wounded early Sunday.
Officers were called to the 6300 block Lakeview Drive in the Westlake Apartments, near Interstate 465 and West 10th Street, around 3:15 a.m. to investigate a report of shots fired.
When officers arrived, they found a man and woman who both appeared to be shot. She was inside an apartment, and he was found outside the apartment building, according to IMPD. Medics pronounced both dead at the scene.
The Marion County Coroner's Office identified the deceased as 37-year-old Alexis Lachelle Wilson and 32-year-old Vincent Lamar Washington. The coroner's office ruled Wilson's death a homicide and said Washington died from an apparent suicide.
Detectives believe the man shot both women, then himself.
A short time later, another woman was found nearby with a gunshot wound. She was in stable condition, according to police, when she was taken to the hospital.
Detectives believe all three people involved knew one another, but none are believed to be intimate partners. A fourth person at the scene also became involved after the two women were shot, IMPD said.
An IMPD chaplain and the Victim’s Assistance unit have responded to provide help for those involved.
