INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WOWO) — Police shot a man Thursday night after a woman was killed on the city’s southwest side.

Officers first went to North Rural Street around 8:30 p.m. They found a woman who had been shot. Medics took her to the hospital, where she died a short time later.

A person who saw what happened told police the man who shot her left the area. A SWAT team later spotted his car on Bullock Court. Police say he and another man got into a different car and drove away, so officers followed them while waiting for more units.

When police tried to stop the car at Southport Road and Bluff Road, the driver got out and was taken into custody. The passenger, the man police were looking for, moved into the driver’s seat and drove off.

Officers put stop sticks near Harding and Morris to slow him down. A few blocks later, near I70, SWAT trucks hit the car twice to stop it and were able to pin it on the second try.

Once the car stopped, police say the man inside was shot when at least three officers fired their weapons. He was hit at least once and taken to the hospital in stable condition. Officers say they found two guns at the scene.

No officers or bystanders were hurt. Body camera and incar video recorded the entire incident.

The Critical Incident Response Team is handling the investigation, and Internal Affairs is running a separate administrative review. The officers who fired their weapons are on administrative leave, which is standard.

Anyone with information about the killing on Rural Street can call Detective Jose Torres at 3173273475 or Crime Stoppers 317262TIPS.

75-year-old Ronald Cross, taken into custody in the 1000 block of S Harding Street, has been arrested for the murder of the victim, 65-year-old Patricia Wieber, that occurred on 5/28/26 in the 36 N Rural Street.
