INDIANAPOLIS — A homicide investigation is underway after a man died Tuesday, nearly a year after he was shot on the city's northeast side.
Keandre Coleman was the victim of the May 2021 shooting at Wes Montgomery Park, which left him in "extremely critical condition," Indianapolis police have said.
He was 25 years old at the time of the shooting and 26 when he died as a result of gunshot wounds, according to police and the Marion County Coroner's Office.
Officers responded about 3:30 p.m. May 26, 2021, to the 3400 block of Hawthorne Lane for a report of a person shot. Coleman was found wounded in a car and transported to Eskenazi Hospital in critical condition, police said.
Keith L. Bryant, 24 at the time, was named a suspect in the shooting and was charged in July 2021 with attempted murder and possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon. However, the Marion County Prosecutor's Office dismissed those charges in November 2021, police said.
On April 17, 2024, Bryant was sentenced to 62 years in prison for killing Coleman.
