A man is dead and a woman is injured after a shooting Sunday morning on the city's southeast side. 

Police responded to a call at around 8:30 a.m. to a duplex in the 1500 block of Renton Street, just north of Bethel Park.

The man, identified Monday as 23-year-old Kyson Ward, was found dead, and the woman was taken to the hospital, where she is in serious but stable condition, said Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Officer William Young.

It's unclear what led up to the shooting, but Young said investigators don't believe it was a random act. 

An investigation is ongoing.

As of June 27, the city had experienced 103 criminal homicides, which is 10 fewer than at the same point last year, according to Indianapolis police. Criminal homicides do not include those deemed accidental or justified, such as self defense killings.
