Responding to a call of a person shot at approximately 1 a.m., officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department arrived at the 6200 block of Nimitz Drive to find Patton suffering from gunshot wounds.
He was transported to a local hospital in critical condition but ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
The circumstances that led to the shooting remain unclear, and authorities did not immediately release any information about a potential suspect or suspects.

Investigators have stated their belief that this second shooting is connected to the one that resulted in Patton's death.
As of the latest available updates, no arrests have been made in direct connection with the murder of TreVell Antonio Patton, and no suspects have been publicly identified.
