A prosecutor has charged a 17-year-old Indianapolis youth as an adult with criminal recklessness in connection with a shooting in downtown Indianapolis that wounded seven other youths age 16 and younger.

Seven young people between the ages of 12 and 17 were wounded in a shooting outside a shopping mall in downtown Indianapolis late Saturday night, police said.Police patrol the area in downtown Indianapolis , Saturday, March 30, 2024, after a shooting near a shopping mall.

“The defendant’s criminal history, the alleged conduct, and Indiana statute require this individual to face felony charges as an adult,” Mears said in a news release. Prosecutors also filed a motion for a higher bond than normal and a so-called “stay away” order barring the youth after his release from custody from entering a six-block radius around the scene of the shooting. The court set a $15,000 bond for the youth Tuesday.

The youth has not had his initial court hearing, and online court records did not show an attorney for him.
