Vincent Patrick Collier, 34, was found with a gunshot wound inside a Chevy Trax that had crashed into a building on the 200 block of S. LaSalle Street in Indianapolis. Officers were called to the scene late on the evening of August 16, 2026. Collier was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead; the Marion County Coroner’s Office confirmed his identity.

Detectives quickly developed a person of interest and that individual was taken into custody in the 3000 block of Southeastern Avenue, near a McDonald’s. Authorities described the incident as isolated but have not released the person’s name or said whether charges would be filed. No motive or full sequence of events leading to the shooting and crash has been released.

If anyone witnessed the incident on August 16 or has information about Collier’s movements that evening, please share what is known with Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department investigators.
