INDIANAPOLIS — Police say a woman died after she was shot at a bar on the city's northwest side and was involved in a crash on Interstate 65 while someone was driving her to a hospital.
The victim has been identified as Deja Morse, 27.
Officers first responded shortly after 2 a.m. to JD's Pub and Grill in the 6900 block of Eagle Highlands Way for a report of a person shot, according to IMPD.
Police discovered more than 15 shell casings at the scene, indicating indiscriminate shooting, said IMPD Deputy Chief Kendale Adams.
Police did not find a victim when they first arrived at the pub and were told by dispatch that they were going to a local hospital. Later, Indiana State Police told IMPD the victim, later identified as Morse, was in a vehicle that crashed on I-65 between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street and 38th Street.
