Shortly before 10:30 p.m. IMPD North District officers with the violent crimes task force (VCTF) and violence reduction team (VRT) were tracking an adult female, 31-year-old Jasmine Brame, who was identified as a suspect in an alleged shots fired incident into a vehicle and a residence earlier this month.  The officers also knew Brame had two active warrants.  One warrant was for armed robbery and the other was for multiple charges including domestic battery, intimidation, and carrying a handgun without a license with a prior conviction.

Officers immediately transitioned into administering first aid Brame until IFD/IEMS responded.  She was transported to St. Vincent Hospital and was most recently listed in stable condition.  There were no officers or uninvolved civilians injured during the incident.
