When police arrived on the scene, area residents helped them locate a man with injuries consistent with gunshot wounds. IMPD reported that the man was transported from the scene to a local hospital in stable condition after officers found him.

Upon further investigation, police learned that the shooting likely stemmed from a robbery of some kind. Per IMPD, the victim told investigators that he crawled from the shooting scene — which officers later determined to be the 2200 block of West Washington Street — to an alley near Pershing Street.

Once the victim made it to the alley near Pershing Street, area residents assisted him and called first responders.
