INDIANAPOLIS — Following an Oct. 29 shooting that killed one person and injured nine others, IMPD has issued citations to five people.
On Nov. 4, IMPD released the names and charges of the individuals involved with throwing the gathering in the 5100 block of East 65th Street, near Binford Boulevard.
David Powell, Jalen Helm, Takhaia Govan, Sparkle Bridges and Nikita Bridges were all charged with not having a dance hall permit, allowing minors to violate curfew, permitting minors to loiter, and for keeping or frequenting a dive.
IMPD also said they issued citations for unlawful use in an industrial zone, as well as not having an amusement and entertainment permit.
Kalin Washington, 16, was killed in the shooting. She was a junior at Warren Central High School, according to her mother.
The nine others shot — identified by police as three 16-year-old males, two 17-year-old males, two 18-year-old females, a 21-year-old male and a 21-year-old female — were all described as "stable" by IMPD.
Officers were originally called on a report of a large party with more than 100 people at the event, according to IMPD.
Officers detained "numerous" people at the scene, but said in an update that all of those people had been released, pending further investigation. No arrests have been made in connection with the shooting.
IMPD Deputy Chief Kendale Adams said officers recovered six guns at the scene, along with numerous shell casings, during a news conference Monday. Police are now working to determine who purchased the guns.
According to Adams, the party was promoted through Snapchat and the organizer accepted admission fees through Cash App.
"We need parents to step up to the plate — grandparents, other who influence children's lives. A 16-year-old is dead because people were promoting on social media. They show up, and then, unnecessary violence," Adams said.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact Detective Gregory Taylor at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or email Gregory.Taylor2@indy.gov. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.
