Indianapolis, IN – A downtown Indianapolis shooting early Friday morning left one man injured and led to the arrest of a 24-year-old suspect after a swift police response in Marion County.
According to IMPD, the shooting happened Friday around 2:45 a.m. near the intersection of South Meridian Street and East Georgia Street. Officers were dispatched on reports of a person shot but initially were unable to locate a victim at the scene. Shortly after, police said an adult male arrived at a nearby hospital suffering from injuries consistent with a gunshot wound. The victim was reported to be in stable condition.
Investigators said multiple 911 callers provided descriptions of a person allegedly involved in the shooting. Officers patrolling the downtown Indianapolis area located a man matching that description, later identified as Jesus Haro, walking southbound on South Meridian Street. Haro was allegedly detained without incident along with another adult male.
Police said the second individual was later released as the investigation continued. A firearm was allegedly recovered nearby where Haro was initially stopped by officers.
Following consultation with the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, Haro was arrested on preliminary charges, including criminal recklessness and unlawful carrying of a handgun. Authorities emphasized that the charges are allegations, and Haro is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. Prosecutors will determine any formal charges.
The investigation remains ongoing as detectives work to determine what led up to the shooting.
