INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A 21-year-old man injured by police in a Tuesday exchange of gunfire has now been charged in a man’s January murder, Indianapolis Metropolitan police said Monday.
Tavon Macklin faces two counts of murder, one count of robbery resulting in bodily injury, one count of armed robbery and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon. Those charges are in connection to the Jan. 17 murder of Justin White, 29, who was found shot in the parking lot of a Marathon gas station at Keystone and Troy avenues.
According to police, two male suspects tried to rob two victims in the gas station parking lot but when they refused to comply, one of the suspects shot one of the victims. Both suspects then fled that scene in a light-colored sedan, police said. IMPD in January released these images of the suspects:
