INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD arrested a 21-year-old man in connection with a shooting that killed two people Saturday night on Indianapolis' near northwest side.
Around 9 p.m. on Sept. 2, officers responded to a gas station near the intersection of Cold Spring Road and West 30th Street, close to Marian University, for a report of a person shot.
Officers located two men outside who had been shot, along with two guns nearby. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene, and a 21-year-old man and a female were detained at the scene.
The Marion County Coroner's Office identified the victims as 23-year-olds Darrin Douthit Jr. and Matthew Hamilton.
"Preliminary information suggests there was a disturbance between the two males, and shots were fired during the altercation," IMPD said in a statement.
During the investigation, detectives identified the 21-year-old man as a suspect. He was eventually arrested on a preliminary felony murder charge.
The female was later released after consultation with the Marion County Prosecutor's Office, IMPD said.
According to court documents, detectives reviewed surveillance video from the area, which showed the incident.
