Indianapolis police fatally shoot man after a chase possibly broadcast on Facebook Live
An Indianapolis police officer fatally shot a young man on the north side around 6:15 p.m. Wednesday following a pursuit initiated by two members of the command staff that was captured, in part, on Facebook Live as thousands tuned in.
Several community activists and neighborhood organizers expressed outrage at what the the video showed. More than 100 people soon gathered at the scene after the shooting, with many chanting, "No justice, no peace."
The shooting happened in the area of West 62nd Street and Michigan Road. Investigators say they found a gun near the suspect, who police have not yet identified.
However, a family member at the scene identified the man as Sean Reed.
Tiona Reed, 37, who said she is Sean Reed’s aunt, said through tears that the family has not received any information about what happened.
"Maybe if they weren't here, we could get some more information," she said, referring to a large crowd of more than 100 people on Michigan Road south of the shooting.
