INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD arrested two sisters for their alleged involvement in a woman's death on the city's northwest side.
The incident happened Feb. 25 around 1:30 a.m. in the 4700 block of Century Plaza Drive, which is near Lafayette Square Mall.
Officers who were responding to a report of a shooting found the woman with an apparent gunshot wound. She was taken to an area hospital, where she died, IMPD said.
The Marion County coroner identified the victim as 25-year-old Secoya Williams and said she died from a gunshot wound.
Following an investigation, 23-year-old Arieal Smith was arrested for murder and her sister, 27-year-old Ebonie Parks, was arrested for assisting a criminal.
Preliminary information leads investigators to believe there was a disturbance at the scene prior to the shooting and that the shooting was not a random act.
The Marion County Prosecutor's Office will review the case and make a final charging decision.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Detective James Hurt at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317-327-3475 or email him at James.Hurt@indy.gov. Tips can also be made anonymously to Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477.
