A young Warrick County man has died after he was shot during an attempted robbery in Evansville. WNIN’s John Gibson has the update:
The Vanderburgh County Coroner’s Office says 19-year-old Dalton Collins of Tennyson succumbed to his injuries at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital.
Collins and two others were wounded outside the Parkside Apartments in the 2800 block of S. Lodge Avenue late Saturday night.
A police affidavit states the three – and another individual were meeting for a suspected marijuana deal — with another individual — that turned into an attempted robbery and ended in gunfire.
16-year-old Isam Rodell Clark is accused of shooting Collins and he now faces a murder charge as well as other counts.
Clark has denied he shot Collins.
Evansville Police Sgt. Anthony Aussieker told reporters this week that the shooting was tragic.
He said it forever changed the lives of four young people.
