A Christmas Day gathering in the 6400 block of Meadowlark Drive in Indianapolis ended in gunfire that killed 37-year-old Ana Paredes and wounded five other adults. The shooting happened shortly before 12:30 p.m. in the Devington neighborhood while four children under 18 were in the house; officers found those children unharmed in the front living room.

Police found one woman shot outside the house and a man and Paredes shot in a back room. Paredes was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. Three other men from the party later sought treatment at area hospitals; one was in critical condition and the remaining five victims were expected to survive.

Officers recovered a gun inside the home and, after getting a detailed suspect description, located a man hiding in nearby bushes. The individual, identified as 35-year-old Dauzon Narvez Garzon, was treated for minor lacerations and arrested on a preliminary murder charge. He was later charged with one count of murder and five counts of battery by means of a deadly weapon.

If anyone was at the gathering or has information about what led to the disturbance, please share what is known.
