Police are asking anyone with information about this incident to contact Detective James Hurt at the IMPD Homicide Office at 317.327.3475 or e-mail him at James.Hurt@indy.gov
In a police briefing, IMPD Public Information Officer William Young said 4-500 people were in the Broad Ripple area on Saturday night.
Young said there was also a separate incident where shots were heard firing and people were scrambling. IMPD didn’t have any information on this incident but says a drone was used to search for victims.
“This is a blatant disrespect for law and order,” IMPD PIO William Young said. “Those individuals will be held accountable and responsible, those that do not understand conflict resolution.”
Mayor Joe Hogsett, IMPD and the Broad Ripple Village Association held a press conference at Broad Ripple Park Family Center to address the incident and the violence in Broad Ripple on Sunday afternoon.
