INDIANAPOLIS — Police arrested a 17-year-old boy for a weekend homicide on the near southwest side of Indianapolis, IMPD said.
According to IMPD, the shooting happened in the 1200 block of Kappes Street, southeast of the West Morris Street and South Belmont Avenue intersection, at around 2:45 p.m.
When officers arrived, they found Larry Cagg, 43, in an alley in the area. Cagg had been shot multiple times in the chest.
An IMPD spokesperson told 13News that Cagg was pronounced dead at the scene.
Homicide detectives are leading the investigation. They believe Cagg and the person who shot him knew each other and that the shooting was the result of a "disturbance." IMPD said there was no active threat to the public.
The 17-year-old suspect was identified just hours after the shooting, police said, thanks to community cooperation and tips.
The teen was located and arrested for murder.
The Marion County Prosecutor's Office (MCPO) will make the final charging decision.
Anyone with information about this case is being asked to contact Det. Brian Lambert at the IMPD Homicide Office by calling 317-327-3475 or emailing Brian.Lambert2@indy.gov.
