INDIANAPOLIS -- A 33-year-old was arrested after a reported shooting on the east side of Indianapolis on Tuesday, according to a social media post by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
Just before 12 p.m. on Tuesday, officers with the department's east district were dispatched to the 2100 block of N Dequincy Street on a shots fired call. Multiple 911 callers reported that a man in a blue shirt who was driving a red sedan with a cracked windshield had fired shots in the direction of a woman in a driveway.
When officers arrived in the area, they reportedly spotted a red car with a cracked windshield traveling toward them. The officers then conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle, which was reportedly being driven by 33-year-old Ledarius Crenshaw, who was then detained.
The post read that officers located multiple shell casings in the street, as well as a vehicle that had been hit by gunfire. When officers searched Crenshaw's vehicle, a handgun was reportedly located inside.
Crenshaw was arrested for possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, unlawful carrying of a handgun by a prohibited person and criminal recklessness.
“This is an example of the success we can have fighting crime when the community and our officers work together,” IMPD East District Commander Michael Leepper said in the post. “I am thankful nobody was hurt during this incident. I appreciate the information provided by the 911 callers and am proud of the work done by our officers and detectives.”
