INDIANAPOLIS — A man who had been shot was found dead in the street on the east side of Indianapolis early Sunday afternoon.
Police were called to investigate the shooting just before 1 p.m. in the 4800 block of East Michigan Street.
They arrived to find the man dead in the street near Michigan and Dequincy streets.
The Marion County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 50-year-old William Henry Toodle III.
Neighbors told police and 13News at the scene that there was a disturbance before the shooting.
Police have not identified a suspect or made any arrests. Detectives are canvassing the area for more witnesses.
Many people stopped near the scene to watch the investigation unfold. While they didn't witness the shooting, those neighbors told 13News that violence is common in this neighborhood.
It's something they hope will change. "It's too many people getting killed," said neighbor Jimmy Page. "We just came outside and see a man lying on the ground. People are getting shot every day."
