INDIANAPOLIS — A man is dead in a shooting on the northeast side of Indianapolis.
Officers came upon what they believed to be a vehicle accident around 6 p.m. Thursday in the intersection of East 30th Street and North Keystone Avenue. When approaching the vehicle, they saw the driver, identified as 22-year-old Daniel Baxter, had gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say the homicide is the 153rd intentional homicide in Indianapolis this year, tying the number recorded in 2019. That total is just five fewer than the city's record for an entire year, set in 2018.
Investigators are interviewing witnesses, but said there is no suspect information at this time.
The intersection of 30th and Keystone was closed for several hours as police continued their investigation.
(Editor's note: A previous version of this story noted the 153 homicides was a record for Indianapolis, as reported by police. That has been corrected.)
