22-year-old arrested in connection with fatal shooting of 62-year-old

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A 22-year-old Indianapolis man has been arrested in connection with an April homicide of a 62-year-old man near a west side bus stop, police said Thursday.

Online jail records showed Donnie W. Abney III faces a preliminary charge of murder. The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office will make a final determination on a criminal charge, police say.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers about 1:30 p.m. April 17 found Forrest Tab Grant with gunshot wounds near an IndyGo bus stop at the intersection of Hiatt Street and West Morris Street. That’s in a residential area between Belmont Avenue and South Harding Street.

Grant died later at a hospital.

Investigators told News 8 that they believe the shooting was an isolated incident, and that Abney and Grant knew each other. Police recovered a shell casing at the shooting scene.
