MCCORDSVILLE — An Indianapolis man has been arrested in connection with a shooting late Monday night that sent at least one person to the hospital, according to the McCordsville Police Department.

Dewayne A. Beasley, 40, 3000 block of Stewart Road, Indianapolis, faces charges of criminal recklessness; possession of a handgun without a license; and battery committed with a deadly weapon, according to the arrest log from the Hancock County Jail.

Beasley has yet to be officially charged by Hancock County prosecutors, who are still processing the information. Prosecutor Brent Eaton said Beasley was arrested around 2 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12, and that his office hopes to file charges sometime today (Nov. 13.)

Paul Casey, chief of the McCordsville Police Department, sent out an email Tuesday morning that said his officers were dispatched to the 9000 block of North Port Drive, McCordsville, for a call of shots fired. Officers arrived on scene, in a neighborhood near Mt. Comfort Road and 96th Street, late Monday and discovered that a man had been shot. The victim was transported to Eskenazi Hospital in Indianapolis and is in stable condition, Casey said in the email.

The victim was not immediately identified.

According to the county’s 911 information logs, a call to 911 was made at 9:37 p.m. Monday from a woman who said a man was shooting a gun in the house where the woman, several children and a friend were located.

The report indicated that when officers from McCordsville and Fortville arrived, they found the friend was suffering from a gunshot wound in the leg, above the knee.

Beasley was arrested at the scene, the report said. He was taken to the McCordsville Police Department for questioning before he was booked into the Hancock County Jail early Tuesday morning.
