A man awaiting a jury verdict at the Community Justice Campus in Indianapolis left the premises and was later found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his apartment, where he died after being taken to the hospital. The man had failed to return to the courtroom, prompting the issuance of a warrant for his arrest by the presiding judge. The man’s car was found at the apartment complex, where he barricaded himself inside. Despite repeated attempts to communicate with him, he ultimately passed away. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department will conduct a death investigation, and mental health resources are being made available. The circumstances of how he left the courthouse before the verdict, what charges he was facing, and whether the outcome of the trial had been determined were not specified in the release from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Kerry Forestal had not issued a statement on the incident at the time of the release.
