INDIANAPOLIS- Detectives arrested 24-year-old Osmin Martinez within hours for his alleged role in the homicide yesterday in the 4100 block of Continental Court.
On Tuesday, August 8, 2023, just before 3:00 pm, IMPD Southeast District officers responded to the 4100 block of Continental Court on a report of a person shot. Officers arrived and located an adult male inside with injuries consistent with a gunshot wound(s). Indianapolis Emergency Medical Services (IEMS) arrived and the male was pronounced deceased at the scene.
IMPD homicide detectives responded to the scene to begin the investigation. The Indianapolis-Marion County Forensic Services Agency responded to identify and collect potential forensic evidence. The Marion County Coroner’s Office (MCCO) is assisting and will determine the exact cause and manner of death. MCCO will release the decedent’s name once a proper next-of-kin notification has been made.
