Woman arrested for neglect after shooting – News 8 at 11

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis police have arrested a 32-year-old woman after a shooting left a man in critical condition.

While responding to a large disturbance Thursday involving more than 50 people on Meadows Way, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers heard the sound of gunshots and found a man shot in a parking lot blocks away.

Police tracked a blood trail to an apartment where they found an armed juvenile. Candice Strayhorn was inside the apartment with six other juveniles. Police say she’s the legal guardian of at least one of the them.

Strayhorn is scheduled to be formally charged in Marion Superior Court 28 on Friday morning on a low-level felony count of assisting a criminal; a low-level felony count of neglect of a dependent; and a misdemeanor count of unlawful carrying of a handgun.

Online records showed she remained in the Marion County jail on Wednesday night without bond. After her initial hearing, her bond will be $50,000.
