INDIANAPOLIS — Video released by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department shows officers shoot a man after he points what appears to be a handgun at police officers.

The suspect, Michael Hendricks, survived being shot by police. But James McGuire and David Doty did not survive Hendricks.


Previous stories detail how Hendricks admitted to shooting McGuire and Doty on March 28 over a $40 debt. Police called to Riley Place in response to the double shooting soon found Hendricks walking along the side of the street near Prospect and Emerson on the city’s east side.

Newly released video, edited and provided by IMPD, shows the encounter between Hendricks and police officers at the corner of Prospect and Emerson. The shooting is captured on police body and dash cam footage. It’s also captured on surveillance footage from a nearby property.

In the footage, Hendricks is seen walking down the side of the road. A police cruiser pulls up behind him with the officer hopping out of the car and demanding Hendricks show his hands.

But Hendricks immediately begins to backpedal, keeping his body partially facing the police officers as he reaches into his sweatshirt pocket. The officer repeatedly shouts for Hendricks to get his hands out of his pockets.
