INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Marion County prosecutors have filed attempted murder charges against the 37-year-old suspect in a police shooting that injured two IMPD officers.
Kreshaun Brinkley, who was also injured in the shooting, has been released from the hospital and is currently being held at the Marion County jail.
The incident unfolded in the 300 block of North Fleming Street on Indy’s west side around 2:30 p.m. Aug. 14.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department SWAT officers served a narcotics warrant at a home when the suspect, Brinkley, fired at officers exiting their armored vehicle.
Two officers were hit in the initial gunfire; returning fire from IMPD struck Brinkley at least once as he retreated into the residence.
After brief discussions with crisis negotiators, Brinkley surrendered around 3:15 p.m.
A court case opened in Marion Superior Court 31 on Thursday shows Brinkley facing charges of three counts of attempted murder, five counts of unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, three counts of criminal recklessness, and one count of criminal vandalism.
Brinkley is due in court Friday morning for a hearing.
This is a developing story. News 8 has reached out to the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office for more charging information.
