Fatal Indianapolis shooting death of Gavin Dasaur – Obituary
Authorities in Indiana are probing an incident where a pickup truck driver fatally shot Gavin Dasaur in Indianapolis during what is believed to be a road-rage altercation.
According to Officer Amanda Hibschman of the Indianapolis Police Department, officers were dispatched to an intersection on the city’s southeast side around 8 p.m. Tuesday after receiving reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, they found Dasaur lying on the road with at least one gunshot wound.
Dasaur’s wife, Viviana ZaMora, identified him as the victim. She recounted, “I held him as he bled out and waited for the ambulance,” in a statement to The Indianapolis Star, part of the USA TODAY Network.
Details about the couple’s residence and the cause of the confrontation remain unclear.
Viviana ZaMora and Gavin Dasaur had recently married and were making plans for their future, including starting a family and traveling the world. ZaMora expressed their plans in her statement to the Star.
The suspected shooter was initially detained at the scene. According to Hibschman, following an investigation and consultation with the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, the individual was released, potentially having acted in self-defense.
Graphic cellphone images and a video published by The New York Post reveal the scene. In the footage, a man in a hat, green shirt, and cargo shorts approaches a white Chevrolet pickup truck, at one point holding what appears to be a handgun. The video shows the man punching the truck and yelling before the truck driver fires multiple shots, causing him to fall to the ground.
The Marion County Coroner’s Office will conduct an autopsy to determine the official cause of Dasaur’s death. The investigation into the case is ongoing, and police are urging any witnesses to come forward.
