Alleged burglary attempt leaves 1 dead; 3 arrested January 29, 2004
Indianapolis
police arrested three men in connection with an apparent burglary on the
Near Northside that resulted in the death of another suspect,
authorities said.
Police
who responded to a disturbance in the 1400 block of West 34th Street on
Tuesday afternoon encountered a resident who said he had shot an
intruder, said Indianapolis Police Department spokesman Lt. Paul
Ciesielski.
Antoine
Moffett, 21, 3100 block of North Barnes Avenue, was declared dead at
Methodist Hospital after the shooting, police said.
He
and three other men, Antwain Coleman, 22, Ulysses Poston, 22, and
Roddell Green, 21, entered the house shortly after 2 p.m., Ciesielski
said.
The
owner, Jaon Barlow, 41, opened fire with a shotgun, hitting Moffett, who
also was armed, police said.
The
three other suspects took Moffett to Methodist, police said, where he
died a short time later.
Coleman,
Poston and Green face preliminary charges of burglary and felony murder,
Ciesielski said.
Charges
were not expected to be filed against Barlow.
