Officers arrived roughly 10 minutes later and found one man near a vehicle suffering from what police believe was a gunshot wound to the torso. Medics tended to the man and transported him in critical condition to Methodist Hospital, where he later died.
The Hendricks County Sheriff's Office identified the man who died as 34-year-old Matthew Steele, of Indianapolis.
