INDIANAPOLIS — Police are investigating after a person injured in a shooting was located at a Lawrence gas station and died from their injuries.
Around 4:30 a.m., IMPD officers responded to the 4100 block of Mount Vernon Court, near 42nd Street and Post Road, for a report of a person shot. They then learned the male victim was located at a gas station on Pendleton Pike, near North Mitthoefer Road, in Lawrence.
The victim, who authorities have not identified, was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead, IMPD said.
A person described by police as a "good Samaritan" transported the victim to the gas station in an effort to seek help.
"It's unfortunate that we wake up, 4 o'clock in the morning, people are getting ready for work, people are geting ready for school, and we have to report on a homicide in our city," IMPD Officer Samone Burris said. "IMPD would like to thank that community member who took it upon themselves to assist this victim in their time of need."
As of early Wednesday, no suspect information was available, and IMPD said there was no reason to believe there is any active threat to the public in connection with the incident.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Detective Steven Gray at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or by email at Steven.Gray@indy.gov.
