INDIANAPOLIS — An investigation is underway after a man was shot late Wednesday evening in Indianapolis.
On May 17, police were called to Community East Hospital around 10 p.m. after a person with an apparent gunshot wound was taken there.
That man later died from his injuries, police said. On Thursday, the coroner's office identified him as 23-year-old Deante Lamar McKinzie and ruled his death a homicide due to a gunshot wound in his upper chest.
An IMPD spokesperson said investigators found a crime scene in the 3400 block of East 38th Street, near North Sherman Drive.
IMPD homicide detectives began investigating and arrested 23-year-old Cynthia Lewis for murder.
According to court documents, multiple witnesses told police Lewis was sitting on McKinzie's car, which led to an argument and Lewis then allegedly shooting McKinzie.
Court documents say police pulled Lewis over on May 18. Police took her in for questioning, but Lewis allegedly did not answer their questions and requested a lawyer.
The Marion County Prosecutor's Office filed a murder charge against Lewis on Wednesday, May 24.
