INDIANAPOLIS — Two man were killed in a shooting on Indianapolis' north side early Monday morning.
IMPD officers responded to a call at 4:55 a.m. in the 3700 block of North Meridian Street, just south of 38th Street, for a report of shots fired. While on the way to the scene, the officers learned at least one person had been shot. They located two men when they arrived, outside a car in the parking lot of an apartment building, who appeared to be shot.
Medics pronounced both men dead at the scene, IMPD said.
Homicide detectives responded to the scene near the Enclave Apartments to begin their investigation by speaking with neighbors and other potential witnesses.
On Oct. 25, the Marion County Coroner's Office identified the men killed as 32-year-old Steven Carruthers and 24-year-old William Jaymal Ferrell.
Police have not shared any information about any suspect in the case.
IMPD spokesperson Sgt. Genae Cook said police believe the shooter left the scene, and there is no other immediate threat to the public. "We believe somebody else is out there," she said, while briefing media at the scene.
Because the scene is near a busy intersection and bus stop, Cook said detectives are hoping to hear from witnesses who can provide information about what may have led to the shooting.
Cook mentioned that investigators want to hear from anybody in the area who has window cameras or who was outside before the shooting and may have seen or heard something that could provided a clue about what happened. "We need to put all of these pieces, together," she said. No tidbit is too small at this point.
Anyone with information on the incident should contact Detective Steven Gray at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or e-mail him at Steven.Gray@indy.gov.
Anonymous tips can be left with Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.
Meridian Street will remain open during the investigation.
