One man dead, another arrested after northeast Indianapolis shooting
INDIANAPOLIS — A man is dead after a shooting on the city’s northeast side stemmed from an argument.
Indianapolis Metropolitan police said officers were already patrolling the area of the 6500 block of Allisonville Road when they heard gunshots shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday.
Officers searched for the shooter and potential victims nearby. Multiple residents called 911 and reported hearing several rounds fired quickly. The victim’s girlfriend found officers and informed them that she knew her boyfriend was shot but did not know his location.
After canvassing the area, officers located 31-year-old Derek Desean Host suffering from a gunshot wound in a wooded area of the 6300 block of Brookline Drive. He was taken to Methodist Hospital in critical condition, where he later died.
At 9:28 p.m. Andreus King walked into Community North Hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg after being dropped off by a witness. The witness told detectives that that they had been with King earlier in the evening on Brookline Drive at a house party. During the party, the witness said they heard a loud argument in the parking lot near the residence before shots were fired.
Host’s girlfriend told police that she saw people coming in and out of an apartment that is leased under her name but shared with a family member. She and Host live together with their children in a separate apartment on the same street where the party occurred. Host’s girlfriend told police that a man, believed to be King, came to their front door looking for her family member before becoming argumentative with her.
During the argument, Host told King to back away from his girlfriend before King returned to the second residence. The couple then decided to lock up the apartment where the party had occurred since the family member was not there. King was retrieving his belongings from inside at the same time the couple was locking windows and doors.

That’s when Host’s girlfriend alleges that King went to his vehicle, pulled out a firearm and started shooting at the couple while they were outside on the porch entryway of the apartment.
Host’s girlfriend told police she jumped into nearby bushes and ran back to her home. She said she grabbed a firearm and returned to the second residence to protect Host. She saw King drive away and began to look for Host, who was missing.
Police located multiple firearms during the investigation. It was not immediately clear how or when King was shot in the leg. King was arrested at the hospital on suspicion of attempted murder.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis City-County Council on Monday night unanimously approved a framework for a designated outdoor refreshment area in the Irvington neighborhood.
In Marion County, the Speedway Town Council set up the first DORA in May 2024.
A news release issued Monday night from a council spokesperson said Proposal 351 adds set up a structure for up to seven designated areas throughout Marion County. This ordinance outlines compliance requirements, public safety standards, and application procedures while another ordinance established the Irvington DORA, pending state approval, covering parts of East Washington Street and surrounding areas.
News 8 first reported a week ago on the Irvington proposal.
The Irvington DORA will allow designated permittees to let patrons leave their premises with up to two open containers of alcohol in approved cups at designated times. The district would include vendor locations for community events and festivals, with business participation being voluntary.
The approval came after engagement with local businesses and two public meetings to ensure the proposal reflected neighborhood priorities, the release said. Once Democratic Mayor Joe Hogsett signs the ordinance, the city government will submit materials to the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission for the final review.
The Irvington DORA is expected to take effect sometime in 2026, pending state approval.
This initiative joins more than 40 other DORA areas across Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A new public portal makes it easier than ever before to request marriage licenses, divorce decrees, and other court records from the Marion County Clerk’s Office.
The public records portal, announced Monday, is already online and is free to use. Created specifically for the clerk’s office, the new system is expected to reduce wait times, with most requests completed within one business day.
“This public records portal marks a major step forward in our commitment to serving Marion County residents with greater convenience and accessibility,” Marion County Clerk Kate Sweeney Bell said in a release. “Our office believes in making court records as easy to access as possible.”
The new portal provides online requests for:
- Marriage licenses
- Divorce decrees
- Civil case files
- Criminal case files
- Court judgments and orders
- Other official court documents
All requests are processed through encrypted, secure channels to protect personal information and maintain the confidentiality of court records as required by law.
Many government agencies, such as the Indiana BMV, require records from the clerk’s office to be physically certified with an official seal. The cost for that is $3 per record, plus $1 per page copy fee. There is no fee for a non-certified copy to be sent via email.
The current system, GovQA, which is used by other city-county agencies, will remain functional. The new system was created specifically for clerk’s office requests.
The clerk’s office says court-ordered restricted or confidential records will still require in-person verification or special authorization procedures in accordance with state laws.

The Houston Texans were able to close out a big divisional win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 13 for what comes out to be their fourth win in a row, and elevates them two games over .500 thanks to a strong, well-rounded effort in all three phases of the game.
The Texans especially showed once again that they’ve turned a page with their late-game execution, piecing together another one-score victory that’s shifted the tune from how they started off this season with their inability to finish and close out when they needed to most.
But thanks to a stout defensive effort on the Colts’ final offensive drive, and C.J. Stroud returning to the lineup to put points on the board in every quarter for Houston, it was just enough to squeeze out a win number seven on the year.
For Stroud, the win sends a simple message: after a few times of coming up short, this team has learned to win and has all the talent on all sides of the football to keep the momentum flowing.
“You cut yourself a couple of times, you start to heal, and you start to learn how to not cut yourself anymore,” Stroud said of the Texans’ late-game situations postgame, via an interview with CBS Sports‘ Evan Washburn.
“I thought we did a great job, all glory goes to God, and I’m just grateful for this team, for or offense, defense and special teams playing together. So, man, it’s a big time win for us. We’re going to keep it rolling.”
C.J. Stroud Loves What He Saw From Texans in Win vs. Colts
Stroud himself had a nice day in his first game back from a three-week absence due to concussion protocol, throwing for over 270 yards on the day, completing over 65% of his passes, and keeping the Texans’ offense afloat throughout.
Along with a powerful defensive week once again, limiting the Colts to their lowest scoring outing on the season thus far, the Texans were really able to take control of Indianapolis on both sides of the ball, and for Stroud, sends a major message to the rest of the league: this Houston roster is a dangerous one.
“Man, we’re super dangerous,” Stroud continued postgame “We’ve lost some close games against some really good teams. If we find a way to win some close games going past Thanksgiving we’’ll be able to put ourselves in position to do whatever we want. It’s a great Colts team, we’re going to see them again.”
“It’s a grind every week, and it’s hard to win in the league, but if you can get it done, man, it’s a blessing.”

Time will tell if the Texans and Stroud can keep that hot hand rolling into next week against the Kansas City Chiefs. But right now, this team has presented itself as a group that no team wants to face down the stretch, their signal-caller is finding his groove, and now with a win in Indy, they have a real chance at stealing the AFC South crown after their season hopes once looked dead in the water.
