IMPD Homicide detectives arrested 25-year-old Nicholas Fulk for his alleged role in the shooting earlier this morning which left one person deceased and additional five injured following a shooting.  Fulk was arrested on a preliminary charge of murder.  

On Saturday, March 16, 2024, just after 1:00 a.m., Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) Broad Ripple Entertainment Zone (BREZ) officers were working in the 800 block of Broad Ripple Avenue when they heard active shots being fired inside of a nearby business. When officers arrived, they located a total of five adult male victims with injuries consistent with gunshot wound(s). Those officers provided first aid to those victims on the scene until arrival of Indianapolis Emergency Medical Services (IEMS) who arrived shortly after and transported the victims to area hospitals.  

Unfortunately, after arrival one male victim was pronounced deceased by medical personnel. Subsequently, an additional adult male victim arrived at an area hospital that had been self-transported. Further investigation revealed that victim was also shot in the 800 block of Broad Ripple Avenue. All five gun-shot victims are expected to survive.  

Homicide and aggravated assault detectives responded to the scene to begin the investigation. The Indianapolis-Marion County Forensic Services Agency responded to assist in identifying and collecting potential forensic evidence. Detectives in IMPD’s Real-Time Crime Center assisted in the investigation by using smart policing technology, such as city and B-Link cameras, automatic license plate readers, and various investigative techniques. Due to their persistent efforts, they were able to identify Fulk as the alleged suspect.  

Around 10:00 a.m. this morning, Violent Crimes Unit (VCU) detectives took Fulk into custody in the 1300 block of Murphy Landings Drive. Homicide detectives later arrested Fulk for murder. 

An arrest is merely an accusation. Fulk should be considered innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. The Marion County Prosecutors Office will make the final charging decisions.
