INDIANAPOLIS — A man was found shot to death early Monday at the former Indianapolis Public School #11 building on the city's northeast side, police say.
On May 5, the Marion County Coroner's Office identified the man as Jose Mathis Jr, 44.
Officers found the Mathis' body outside after they were called about 9:30 a.m. to the building, 3202 E. 42nd St., said IMPD Officer William Young.
Mathis had suffered gunshot wounds, Young said. He was later pronounced dead.
Police are investigating Mathis' death as a homicide. Investigators do not believe there's an active threat to the public.
