Indianapolis Police Department Officer Amanda Hibschman told USA TODAY officers responded to a report of a person shot just after 8 p.m. Tuesday at an intersection on the city's southeast side.
Arriving officers said they found a man on the ground in the middle of the road suffering from at least one gunshot wound.

Emergency medical responders transported Dasaur to a hospital where he died, Hibschman said Thursday.
"We were so in love and had many plans for the future," ZaMora told the Star, adding the pair had recently married. "Like starting a family and enjoying our honeymoon, and traveling all over the world."
The suspected shooter, Hibschman said, was detained at the scene.
"Upon further investigation and after consultation with Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, that individual was released," the police spokesperson said, indicating the shooter may have acted in self-defense.
Video shows man shoot driver in Indianapolis road rage shooting
Cellphone photos posted online by The New York Post, as well as video posted on X, show a man wearing a hat, a green shirt and cargo shorts, approaching a white Chevrolet pickup truck with an extended cab.
USA TODAY is not linking to the video due to its graphic contact.
The Post, which obtained the 7-second video of the melee, identified the man walking up to the truck as Desaur and at least one photo shows what appears to be a handgun in the man's hand.
Video also shows the man punch the truck before yelling at the truck driver.
At one point in the video, the truck driver fires multiple shots at the man outside the truck and he drops to the ground.
