Bloomington police are looking for a suspect who last Sunday (May 24) shot a .45 caliber handgun several times into the air at a party on the rooftop of the Rive, an apartment complex across from Miller-Showers Park on Walnut Street north of 17th Street.
The man in the photograph provided in a Thursday news release is described as “wearing the white shirt, black pants, and white and black shoes.” Anyone with information is being asked to contact detective sergeant Joe Henry at 812-349-3907 or henryj@bloomington.in.gov.
According to the news release, shortly after 10 p.m. on Sunday (May 24) Bloomington police officers responded to a shots fired call at The Rive Bloomington, which has the street address 1820 N. Walnut Street. Responding officers determined that a big party had been taking place on the rooftop patio of the building.
Surveillance cameras captured footage of a man taking a handgun from his waistline and firing several rounds into the air in quick succession. At that point, people at the party started to flee from the area. The man of interest was last seen on camera running from the building to the southwest. According to the news release, officers found four .45 caliber shell casings at the scene, but did not find any property damage or anyone who was injured.
