MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Ind. - One person is dead and one man is in police custody after a shooting in Montgomery County late Monday, Indiana State Police said.
Investigators said the shooting happened just before 9:30 p.m. at a home near 2600 North 950 East in Darlington.
Montgomery County Sheriff’s officials were dispatched to the home after receiving a 911 call about an assault.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found the unresponsive victim on the ground suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. The victim was pronounced dead a short time later, police said.
A witness told investigators a two-toned 1992 Chevrolet pickup truck had fled the scene, possibly headed to Brownsburg.

Hickman was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Montgomery County Jail on a warrant for murder and aggravated battery, ISP said.
