INDIANAPOLIS -- A 23-year-old man who was shot and killed in an alley on the near-north side of Indianapolis late Thursday has been identified as being from Greencastle.

Investigators have identified the victim as Keyeon Johnson, Greencastle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities said the shooting occurred just before midnight between West 30th and 31st streets and North Capitol Avenue.

Police, who were summoned to the scene on a 911 call reporting gunshots being fired in the area, reported the victim had apparently been shot several times.
