IMPD investigates multiple shootings Saturday morning; 2 dead, 3 injured

Officers were called to the Budget 8 Inn on 21st Street near Shadeland Avenue at 5:30 a.m. Saturday where two men were killed.

INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD is investigating a deadly shooting with multiple victims at an east side motel early Saturday.

Officers were called to the Budget 8 Inn on 21st Street near Shadeland Avenue at 5:30 a.m. Saturday.

Police arrived and found two men with gunshot wounds. One man was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was taken to the hospital in critical condition, where he also died of his injuries.

On Monday, the coroner's office identified the victims as Andre Caldwell, 29, and 48-year-old Jimmy Jones.

Within an hour of responding to the motel scene, IMPD officers responded to another report of a person shot in near Keystone Avenue and 30th Street. That man was in serious but stable condition when taken to the hospital and detectives suspect he may have been shot at the motel, as well, but have not confirmed that.

An IMPD spokesman said police have nobody in custody, and are still gathering information in the area.

Detectives have not shared what may have led to the shootings.

Anyone with information about the activities in the area of the motel or the 30th Street location where the third man was found before or after the shootings is asked to call IMPD Homicide Detective James Hurt at 317-327-3475 or email him at james.hurt@indy.gov. Anonymous tips can be left with Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-TIPS.

Police are also investigating shootings that left two other men injured before the deadly motel shooting.

Just before 5 a.m., officers were called to investigate a man shot on Southfield Court near U.S. 31 and Thompson Road on the city's south side. He was conscious and alert, according to police.

Aggravated Assault detectives are working that shooting as a possible domestic case.

Just after midnight, another man was shot on the northwest side of Indianapolis near 33rd Street and High School Road. He was awake and breathing, according to police. 

Aggravated Assault investigators found several cars in the parking lot with bullet holes at that scene.
