INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis police arrested a man Sunday evening for a murder that occurred hours earlier on the city’s east side.
Around 8:15 a.m., Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers were called to a death investigation on North Oxford Street near East Washington and Rural streets.
Police arrived and found a man’s body. The circumstances of his death “were believed to be suspicious,” IMPD said in a release.
Homicide detectives responded to the scene and found signs of trauma on the man’s body.
