Four people were shot and killed in Indianapolis on Saturday night after an argument over a stimulus check, according to court documents and local reports.
Preliminary probable cause documents say Malik told investigators he shot members of his girlfriend’s family after she refused to give him part of her money. The victims were identified as Dequan, 23, Anthony, 35, Tomeeka, 44, and a 7 year old girl. A family member told WXIN that Malik had asked for half of the woman’s stimulus check and tax refund the day before. According to the family, she offered him $450 and he was not satisfied.
Police were called to the scene around 9:35 p.m. Jeanettrius, Malik’s girlfriend, was shot and told officers he had also shot the others and left with their 6 month old daughter. The baby was found unharmed hours later at the home of Malik’s sister, who called 911. Jeanettrius was listed in critical condition and was released from the hospital Monday.
Police say Malik was found hiding in an attic after an hours long standoff with SWAT. Court documents and the New York Post report he is being held without bail on preliminary charges of murder, attempted murder, and robbery. He has not been convicted, and the case is still moving through the courts.
