Officials with the McCordsville Police Department are investigating an early morning shooting.

GREENFIELD – Greenfield detectives are trying to determine how a man found in a truck at Pet Smart, 2211 Barrett Drive, Greenfield died and how long he had been there.

The man, who is not being identified at this time, was found in a white 2006 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck at 12:45 p.m. Tuesday afternoon in the parking lot near the front of the business.

A person walking by the truck noticed the man inside and called 911. Officers arrived and realized the man had been in the truck for possibly a few days and was obviously dead. A dog was also found dead in the truck.

Due to being in the truck for what appears to be at least few days, GPD detectives and the Hancock County Coroner’s Office will be working to determine the cause and manner of death.

Video footage from nearby businesses will help determine when the man arrived in the parking lot. The man will be identified once his family has been located and notified of his death.

Anyone in the Pet Smart parking lot over the weekend who may have any information that may assist in this investigation, you are encouraged to call detective lieutenant Nathan Garner at
317-477-4410 or email him at [email protected]

There does not appear to be any foul play at this time and officials believe there is no threat to the public.
