INDIANAPOLIS- The following information is an updated summary of the officer involved shooting that occurred at 7800 Red Mill Drive on May 14, 2021. The information provided is preliminary and subject to change. (Content was gathered from the Police CAD and the preliminary investigation.) On May 14, 2021, just after 6:30 p.m., Officers with the IMPD were dispatched to the 3800 block of Red Mill Place (which runs north and south) on an armed suicidal male. Officers were advised that the male had fired shots in a residential area. A short time after their arrival, officers located the male in the 7800 block of Red Mill Drive (which runs east and west). The male walked quickly towards officers with a gun in his hand, reducing the area and time the officers had to establish time, distance, and cover principles. The officers ordered the male to drop the gun, but he continued walking quickly toward them, raising his weapon in their direction. Three officers fired at the male, later identified as Monolito Ford. Ford was stuck by the bullets and fell to the ground. Officers immediately rendered first aid to Ford until Indianapolis Emergency Medical Services (IEMS) arrived on scene. Ford was transported to Eskenazi Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. Monolito Ford’s gun was recovered at the scene of the incident.
