INDIANAPOLIS — One person is dead after a shooting on the far east side of Indianapolis Tuesday.
According to IMPD, the shooting occurred at 10100 John Marshall Dr around 8 p.m.
Officers arrived and located a male victim in the driver's seat of a van with gunshot injuries.
The victim was transported to the hospital in critical condition and later died.
On Wednesday, the Marion County Coroner's Office identified the man as 46-year-old Robert Hornbuckle Jr.
An investigation is ongoing. Preliminary, detectives have determined Hornbuckle was shot a short distance away within the apartment complex and drove the van to the location where officers found it.
At this time, police do not know if this incident is related to other incidents that have occurred in the community.
Just this past Sunday, a man was shot and killed at the same Amber Woods apartments.
"We recognize the recent violence we've had in this community," IMPD Public Information Office Shane Foley said. "And it's not representative or indicative of the residents that live here or the management."
According to Foley, IMPD has a working relationship with the residents and management in the neighborhood. He says the relationship has allowed the department to solve crimes.
"This past Sunday's homicide, I can tell you as an update that detectives have identified the person responsible for that incident and interviewed him," Foley said. "That was only possible because of the cooperation we received from witness and people who live in the community."
Police ask that anyone with information or video related to the shooting contact the IMPD Homicide office at 317-327-3475 or or e-mail the detective at Matthew.Melkey@indy.gov.
