INDIANAPOLIS — A man was shot to death late Monday on the city's near northside.

Officers found the man wounded while responding to a report of a person shot in the 3100 block of Brouse Avenue at about 9 p.m. When they arrived he was critically injured.

At 9:47 p.m., IMPD confirmed the man had died.

The man was later identified as Gregory Stewart, 22, the Marion County Coroner's Office said Tuesday.

IMPD Capt. Don Weilhammer said people nearby reported hearing a small disturbance between a group of juveniles before hearing gunshots.

"People need to learn how to solve their problems without resorting to gun violence," Weilhammer said. "Too many people are being shot in our city and this is a direct result of people resorting to guns to solve their problems."

The shooting remains under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to call IMPD Detective Gary Smith at 317-327-3475 or Gary.Smith@indy.gov. Tips can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-262-8477 (TIPS) or online.
