INDIANAPOLIS — A 20-year-old man was arrested for a double shooting that killed a 23-year-old man and left another in critical condition in early January.
The 20-year-old faces a murder charge for the death of 23-year-old Shannon Ramone Campbell Jr. and an attempted murder charge for the injury of another man.
On Jan. 3rd, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to the 1800 block of Howard Street just after 3:30 p.m. on reports of a person shot.
Upon arrival, officers located two adult male victims suffering from gunshot injuries.
Campbell Jr. was pronounced dead at the scene while the other was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.
Officers also located a vehicle that had been shot at the scene.
This incident marked the third homicide of 2025.
"We're starting 2025 off in the wrong direction. This can't continue," IMPD Officer Tommy Thompson said. "We continued to say that last year and we're saying it again. We have to get better at resolving our conflicts."
