“It’s such an unfortunate event because Halloween is supposed to be a time where you’re out with your family and having fun,” said IMPD Capt. Rob Rider. “It’s a great time for the kids and to have a violent tragic event happen in their neighborhood really is very distributing.”
IMPD said detectives are working to review footage collected from ring doorbell videos in the area as part of their investigation. Police are also looking to speak with witnesses who may be able to provide critical information as they piece together what exactly occurred before the deadly encounter.
