The shooting death of a Fort Wayne man found in an apartment complex off Lake Avenue on Monday night was accidental, investigators said Tuesday.
An autopsy performed Tuesday morning at the Northeast Indiana Forensic Center determined the victim, 22-year-old Jason T. Kizer, died from blood loss from a gunshot wound. His death was ruled an accident, coroner E. Jon Brandenberger said.
Fort Wayne police were called to an apartment in the Arbor Lakes complex at 2010 Bayview Drive about 9:50 p.m. Monday on a possible shooting. A caller told dispatchers there was a man who had possibly been shot, police spokesman Roy Sutphin said.
Officers arrived in the area and found Kizer suffering from what appeared to be a gunshot wound. Police provided emergency aid until medics arrived and took over, Sutphin said.
Kizer was taken by ambulance to Parkview Hospital in critical condition. He was pronounced dead a short time after arriving at the hospital, Brandenberger said.
No one else was inside the apartment at the time. Investigators interviewed possible witnesses, but no criminal activity is believed to be involved in the shooting, Sutphin said.
Police think Kizer's gunshot wound was accidentally self-inflicted from a shotgun, he said.
