2 Dead, 1 Injured in Indianapolis Shooting That Sparked High-Speed Chase, Two Suspects Apprehended
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — A violent and chaotic sequence of events unfolded on the east side of Indianapolis Saturday morning, leaving two people dead, another injured, and ending in a high-speed police pursuit that culminated with a suspect refusing to surrender until he finished smoking a marijuana blunt.
According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD), officers were dispatched to the Carriage House East Apartments around 8:45 a.m. on June 29 in response to reports of a triple shooting.
Upon arrival, police discovered three individuals suffering from gunshot wounds.
Despite life-saving efforts, two victims succumbed to their injuries, while a third remains hospitalized in unknown condition.
Shortly after the shooting, officers identified a black vehicle fleeing the area at high speed.
A pursuit ensued, with the suspects reaching speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour, weaving through traffic and ultimately traveling across the city.
During the pursuit, the suspects’ vehicle struck an ambulance and another civilian vehicle, causing damage but no reported injuries from those collisions.
Police deployed stop sticks in an attempt to end the chase, which concluded when the suspect vehicle crashed into a light pole near the intersection of West 16th Street and North Illinois Street.
One of the suspects exited the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot, but was quickly apprehended by pursuing officers.
The driver of the vehicle, however, reportedly remained inside and refused to exit, telling officers he would not surrender until he finished smoking a blunt.
Officers maintained a perimeter around the crashed vehicle, and the driver eventually complied and was taken into custody without further incident.
Both individuals are now in police custody. IMPD officials confirmed that there is no ongoing threat to the community and that the investigation remains active.
Authorities have not yet released the names of the deceased victims or the suspects involved.
The IMPD Homicide Unit continues to investigate the motive behind the shooting, and charges against the suspects are expected to be filed in the coming days.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
