Update: The victim of a fatal shooting on the west side has been identified as 24-year-old Roberta Luten, according to an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department report.

Police are investigating the shooting as a reckless homicide, according to the report. No arrests have been made.

Earlier: Police are investigating after a woman was fatally shot on Indy's west side.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Officer Aaron Hamer said police believe the shooting was accidental, but officers are still working to piece together what happened. Police said the victim was an adult, and a woman at the scene who identified herself as the victim's sister said the victim was 22 years old.

No arrests have been made, but multiple people have been taken in for questioning. Hamer said the person who shot the victim is a female. They have a gun is their possession, but don't know who it belongs to or how it was obtained.

The shooting occurred at a home on the 2300 block of Raceway Road.

Reports show police had been called to the house multiple times Sunday, at 5:30 p.m., 6:33 p.m. and 6:43 p.m., all for disturbances. Police were called to the scene just after 7 p.m. Sunday for the fatal shooting.

Neighbors witnessed the multiple police calls, and said officers had left the house just 10 minutes before the victim was shot.

Jack Paff, one of the victim's neighbors, said he had seen police coming and going from the house all afternoon.

"I blame IMPD," Paff said. "It escalated, it kept escalating ... they kept arguing and fighting."

He heard a gunshot just before he got into the shower, and rushed outside, joining other neighbors and family watching the investigation.

"They could have prevented it if they kept the cops here," Paff said. "A useless death, that's all it is."
