Fatal Indianapolis shooting death of James Walter McGuire – Obituary
James Walter McGuire, 48, tragically lost his life on March 28 following a shooting in the 1300 block of Riley Place. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department responded to the scene around 3 p.m. after receiving reports of a shooting.
McGuire was found dead at the scene, while another victim was critically injured and taken to the hospital.
Authorities later identified the shooter as 50-year-old Michael Hendricks. According to witnesses, the shooting stemmed from a $40 debt McGuire allegedly owed Hendricks.
After officers arrived, they were able to locate Hendricks in the area, and when they ordered him to show his hands, he reportedly raised his weapon toward the officers, prompting them to open fire. Hendricks was subsequently arrested and transported to the hospital in stable condition.
Hendricks, who has a criminal history including convictions for rape, aggravated battery, and burglary, now faces charges of murder and attempted murder. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are reviewing additional information as it becomes available.
