NEW ALBANY, Ind — A Jeffersonville man has died following a shooting on New Albany’s west side.
Indiana State Police said the shooting happened just after 10 a.m. in the 300 block of West 8th Street.
New Albany Police officers found a 30-year-old man, identified as Johntae Trumbo of Jeffersonville, with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to UofL Hospital in Louisville where he died.
Police said a 17-year-old who was the suspected shooter stayed at the scene and was taken into custody when officers arrived.
All parties involved in this case have been accounted for and there is no further risk to public safety, the release said. Trooper Phillip Hensley assured the community that ISP and NAPD are taking the shootings seriously. He said, "New Albany is a very safe community, it has a lot of people, it has a great police department and supporting agencies for the city." He added, "So to say as a resident of New Albany or Floyd County in general I'm worried about my safety, I'm not.”
Police have not determined what may have led up to the fatal shooting of Trumbo.
Since New Albany Police were working on other investigations, ISP were called in to lead the investigation.
The 17-year-old has been charged with possession of a handgun by a serious violent felon, obstruction of justice and false informing.
He is currently being held at a juvenile detention facility in Jeffersonville.
ISP said specific details of this case will be forwarded to the Floyd County Prosecutor's Office for review and they will determine if additional charges will be filed.
The NAPD is being assisted by the Indiana State Police with this case. If anyone has information pertaining to this case, they are encouraged to contact the NAPD at (812) 948-5317.
