INDIANAPOLIS — A woman was killed shooting on the west side of Indianapolis on Friday evening.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to the 3000 block of Lupine Drive on reports of a shots fired just before 7 p.m.
Upon arrival, officers located an adult female victim suffering from a gunshot injury inside a vehicle. The victim was transported to a local hospital in critical condition, where she later died.
Family has identified the woman as Kierra Dotson, who goes by the nickname “Kia”.
Famly says Dotson was a mother and her daughter just turned 18.
"We're living in a time where everyone is for self and if it's not about them, then it, it doesn't matter," Kierra's cousin Janae Dotson said. "But just because it doesn't matter to you doesn't mean that it doesn't matter to everyone else."
There is currently no known suspect in the incident. IMPD is still investigating.
"We just have to get to a place where we consider others because if we continue down this road, I fear for our future. I fear for a future where we pick up guns instead of having conversations. I fear for the life of my nephew who's gonna be living in a world where there is no compassion, there is no hum humility," Dotson concluded. "There's, there's no conscience."
Anyone with information about this incident should call Detective Kevin Roell at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317.327.3475 or e-mail the detective at Kevin.Roell@indy.gov.
