Arriving officers said they found a man lying on the ground in the middle of the road with at least one gunshot wound. The man’s wife identified the victim of the shooting.

“I held him as he bled to death and waited for the ambulance,” said the victim’s widow, Viviana ZaMora. The Indianapolis StarDasaur, who was reportedly from Agra, and Viviana ZaMora had just married on June 29, just over two weeks before his death.

The suspected shooter, Hibschman said, was taken into custody at the scene. “After further investigation and consultation with the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, that individual was released,” the police spokesman said, indicating the shooter may have acted in self-defense.

Dasaur’s wife condemned the shooting as she mourned the death of her husband. “He was a hardworking man who always did his best to help everyone and wanted to give the world to me and his family,” she told the local outlet.

Cellphone video recorded by another driver at the scene shows Dasaur getting out of his car at the intersection. Dasaur appears enraged and yells at the driver of the pickup truck, Fox news reported.

The driver of the pickup truck responds by firing three shots. Dasaur immediately falls to the ground. The shooter never got out of his vehicle during the confrontation that lasted only seven seconds.
