INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD is investigating after a boy died in a shooting on Indianapolis' east side Sunday afternoon.
Shortly after 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 20, IMPD officers were called to a house in the 3700 block of East Market Street, near North Sherman Drive, after receiving a report of a person shot.
Upon arrival, officers found a boy, believed to be between the ages of 11 and 14, with a gunshot wound, IMPD said. Officers reportedly administered medial aid, but the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Monday, Aug. 21, the Marion County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 11-year-old Jordan Robertson, and IMPD said detectives believe he accidentally shot himself.
An IMPD spokesperson said Sunday there were "a number of juveniles" in the home at the time of the shooting and believe the incident took place in an upstairs room. Police have not said whether any adults were at the home at the time of the shooting.
The incident has not been ruled a homicide at this time, IMPD said.
