Indy man killed by Madison County deputies after officers tried to serve a warrant - Indianapolis News | Indiana Weather

ANDERSON, Ind. (WISH) – An Indianapolis man was shot and killed by Madison County deputies after they attempted to serve him with an arrest warrant Saturday night.

Indiana State Police in a statement identified the man as 44-year-old Lataurus Harrison.

Saturday, deputies with the Madison County Sheriff’s Department were attempting to serve an arrest warrant on Harrison at the request of the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. It was unclear what Harrison was wanted for.

Officers found Harrison sitting in a car parked in the driveway of a home in the 1600 block of Fairview Street.

State police say that at some point the encounter with Harrison escalated and officers attempted to calm the situation by giving Harrison several commands to get out of the car and show his hands.

Harrison refused the demands, police say, and at some point, an officer fired his gun at Harrison. Harrison was hit at least once. Despite life-saving procedures, Harrison died at the scene.

No one else was injured in the accident.

During a search of Harrison’s vehicle, police say they found a gun in the front seat.

Investigators say they are reviewing footage from the officers’ body cameras and will also soon release the name of the officer who fired his weapon.
