INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis police made an arrest Wednesday night after a convention worker was found fatally stabbed in a hallway of the Indianapolis Convention Center.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to the 100 block of South Capitol Avenue on reports of a disturbance at around 6:30 p.m.

Upon arrival, officers located a man, identified as 58-year-old Alan Ray Gosnell, suffering from stab wounds. He died at a local hospital.

A 33-year-old man was detained and later arrested on Wednesday.

According to preliminary court documents, the suspect both stabbed the man and strangled him inside the convention center. The suspect was followed from the scene by witnesses — allowing IMPD officers to detain them.

When detained, the suspect told police he would need a lawyer before speaking to them, but did tell them he was with the U.S. Military and CIA and had just neutralized an international terrorist nuclear threat.
