INDIANAPOLIS — A man was shot to death in a homicide early Thursday on the city's southeast side, police say.
Police responded about 2 a.m. to the 1000 block of Harlan Street for a report of a person shot, according to Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Officer William Young. That location is near Woodlawn Avenue.
Officers found the man down in a back alley off Harlan and Prospect streets. He was pronounced dead at the scene shortly afterward, officials said.
On June 5, the Marion County Coroner's Office said the man had been identified as Payton Wilson, 23. His death was ruled a homicide from gunshot wounds.
Minutes afterward, officers responded to another call of a shooting nearby, in the 2400 block of Prospect Street. A person was found with a graze wound.
It was not immediately clear whether the two shootings were related, Young said.
On September 13, IMPD announced the arrest of 18-year-old Braven Harris in connection to the homicide.
Harris was found guilty of murder in January 2024. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 9, 2024.
