INDIANAPOLIS — A man was arrested by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department for his alleged involvement in four separate shootings around the city.
Mekhi Bryant, 20, was charged for Battery with a Deadly Weapon along with multiple counts of Criminal Recklessness.
According to officers, at approximately 3 a.m. on Jan. 16, officials responded to the 2100 block of Waterford Place on the report of a person shot. Upon arrival, officers found a man with injuries consistent with a gunshot wound. The victim told authorities that he was in his front room and someone began shooting into his apartment.
On that same night, IMPD responded to three additional locations on reports of shots fired into three separate homes.
During the investigation of the homes, officers noticed that a specific caliber of bullet was used in all four cases. Upon further investigation, and forensic evidence gathered, detectives identified Bryant as the suspect.
The Violent Crimes Unit of IMPD located Bryant this past Thursday in the 3800 block of N High School Rd. Bryant was found with a firearm that was confirmed to be the same caliber as the bullets found at each shooting. Bryant was arrested after an interview with detectives.
This is an active investigation. Information will be updated as it becomes available.
