INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department says one woman died early Sunday morning after a shooting on the east side.
Officers responded to the 2700 block of East Michigan Street around 2 a.m. and found a woman who had been shot on the sidewalk.
She was later pronounced dead at the scene.
She was identified as Sabrina Travis, 35, The Marion County Coroner's Office said. Her death was ruled a homicide.
On Wednesday, IMPD announced Ronnie Smith was arrested for reckless homicide and criminal recklessness. On Oct. 6, Marion County prosecutors charged Smith, 20, with murder, battery and other crimes in Travis's death.
According to a preliminary probable cause affidavit, the suspect told police he had gotten into an argument with a woman and that when they arrived in separate cars at the intersection of Michigan and Rural Streets, he "was trying to get the attention of [the woman] and fired two to three shots into the air."
"Thanks to assistance from the community, real-time information from the Incident Analysis Center (license plate readers, public safety cameras, and other technology), and district officers’ knowledge of their beats, detectives located [the suspect]," IMPD said in a news release.
