Indianapolis, IN – Police responded swiftly to a shooting in southeast Indianapolis Tuesday, taking a suspect into custody within minutes after two men were found critically injured from gunshot wounds.
According to IMPD News, officers were dispatched to the 100 block of S. Randolph Street at approximately 5:50 p.m. Tuesday. Upon arrival, they located two adult male victims—one in the backyard with three apparent gunshot wounds and another near the front door of a residence with one gunshot wound. The suspect, identified as 49-year-old Paul Turner, was allegedly detained on scene and arrested within three minutes.
Authorities stated that medics transported both victims to Eskenazi Hospital, where they remain in critical condition. Detectives allege that a disturbance between Turner and the victims escalated to the shooting. According to investigators, Turner and at least one victim are believed to be known acquaintances.
Aggravated Assault Detectives canvassed the neighborhood for surveillance video and witnesses, while the Marion County Forensic Services Agency processed the scene, reportedly recovering multiple shell casings, a rifle, and a handgun.
IMPD officers arrested Turner on preliminary charges of aggravated battery and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon. The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office will review evidence and make final charging decisions. Authorities emphasize all suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
