Alleged burglary attempt leaves 1 dead; 3 arrested
Indianapolis police arrested three men in connection with an apparent burglary on the Near Northside that resulted in the death of another suspect, authorities said.
Police who responded to a disturbance in the 1400 block of West 34th Street on Tuesday afternoon encountered a resident who said he had shot an intruder, said Indianapolis Police Department spokesman Lt. Paul Ciesielski.
Antoine Moffett, 21, 3100 block of North Barnes Avenue, was declared dead at Methodist Hospital after the shooting, police said.
He and three other men, Antwain Coleman, 22, Ulysses Poston, 22, and Roddell Green, 21, entered the house shortly after 2 p.m., Ciesielski said.
The owner, Jaon Barlow, 41, opened fire with a shotgun, hitting Moffett, who also was armed, police said.
The three other suspects took Moffett to Methodist, police said, where he died a short time later.
Coleman, Poston and Green face preliminary charges of burglary and felony murder, Ciesielski said.
Charges were not expected to be filed against Barlow.
