INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD is conducting a homicide investigation after a man was found dead in a car on the city's east side Thursday morning.
Police responded to a welfare check in the 1100 block of North Ridgeview Drive, near 10th Street and North Arlington Avenue, shortly after 8 a.m.
The people that live at the home told police they woke up and saw the car in their yard.
Police told 13News homicide detectives are investigating due to trauma on the body found in the car. It is standard procedure to conduct death investigations when the circumstances are unclear, but IMPD said the signs of trauma to the man's body led detectives to consider his death a homicide.
The Marion County Coroner's Office will determine the man's exact cause of death, and the coroner will share his name once family has been notified.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Detective Brad Nuetzman at the IMPD homicide office at 317-327-3475 or e-mail him at Brad.Nuetzman@indy.gov
