INDIANAPOLIS- IMPD Detectives arrested 27-year-old Alexander Cross for his alleged role in a homicide that occurred in the 100 block of S. Belmont Avenue.
On Tuesday, February 27, 2024, just before 7:00 p.m., IMPD Southwest District officers responded to the 100 block of S. Belmont Avenue 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 victim was unfortunately 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 will determine the exact manner and cause of death. The Marion County Coroner’s Officer (MCCO) identified the victim as 40-year-old Randy White.
