Four Year Old In Serious Condition

"INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Police are saying the deaths of a man and a woman in a Far Westside apartment were a murder-suicide by gunfire. A 4-year-old boy was also seriously wounded by a shot to the head.

"Dante L. Roberts, 36, and Nicole M. James, 35, were declared dead around 11:30 a.m. Monday in an apartment in the 7500 block of West St. Clair Street, in an area of apartments and residences near West 10th Street and Girls School Road.

"The boy, Corbin Harris, 4, was sent to Riley Hospital for Children for treatment and was listed in serious condition on Monday.

"Police reports said the boy was the son of James. Both were reported missing to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department by Lemart Harris, 34, the boy’s father.

"The report said that Lemart Harris told officers that James was pregnant, and had obtained a peace bond against Roberts after they had argued in December 2009.

"Officers who had gone to the apartment to check on the woman and the boy got a pass key from the apartment manager, entered the residence and found the three wounded people inside.

"Police had not determined on Monday evening who was responsible for the shooting, but they appeared certain it was a murder-suicide. A statement from police spokesman Lt. Jeffrey Duhamell said that neighbors had reported arguments between Roberts and James in recent weeks."
