An Indianapolis man has been formally charged with murder in the fatal shooting of three people at an apartment complex in central Indiana last week, authorities said.
The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office on Wednesday accused Malik Shaw, 24, of three counts of murder in connection with the murders in Lawrence, a city located within the city limits on the northeast side of Indianapolis. It was announced that he had been charged with a crime.
Shaw was arrested Tuesday and was being held without bail. He appeared in court Thursday for his first hearing on the charges. Online court records do not list an attorney available to speak on Shaw’s behalf, and the next court date is scheduled for an attorney hearing on April 23.

Prosecutors said Shaw’s cell phone was found near the scene of the shooting.
According to the probable cause affidavit, the apartment manager told officers he heard gunshots before seeing someone chase the man and fire.
The employee obtained a handgun and ran around the building when he saw “two suspects” wearing masks and fired shots at one of them, causing the person to shoot at least once. He said he believed he had been hit.
