INDIANAPOLIS — Police say tracks in the snow and a trail of blood led them to the body of a man outside a home on the city's far eastside.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were called to the 3600 block of North Wittfield Street around 12:20 a.m. for a report of shots fired.
Arriving officers located tracks in the snow and blood trail which led them to a stolen vehicle. Further searching led police to the body of a 23-year-old man. The man had a gun beside him, according to police.
The Marion County Coroner later identified the victim as Jaylin Darran Smith.
Police have not identified any victims at this time.
