INDIANAPOLIS -- Court records filed in Marion County shed light on what led to a pair of raids Monday night by the FBI Safe Streets Rask Force and Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. The raids took place at two addresses along West 30th Street Monday night on Indy's near north and near northwest sides of town. Report: Phone companies not stopping enough robocalls According to court records, the raids stemmed from a non-fatal shooting at an apartment building near 30th and Capitol on Sunday night. Around 9:30 p.m. Monday, the FBI Safe Streets Task Force and IMPD Violent Crimes Unit detectives searched the apartment building along Capitol and found blood left behind from the shooting just 24 hours earlier. The victim in that case survived after being shot in the leg. At the same time Monday night, police searched a home near 30th and California and arrested 39-year-old Tanesha Turner for allegedly assaulting Sunday's victim before another man pulled the trigger. Court documents show Turner confessed that she helped kidnap the victim at gunpoint and hit him before another suspect, who FOX59/CBS4 is not naming, shot the victim. Turner's home on 30th Street is also just a few feet away from where 47-year-old Matthew Stevens was fatally shot Monday morning. Court documents do not name Turner or anyone else as a suspect in that murder. Court records do claim the man who survived Sunday's shooting told police the man who shot him was a drug dealer, who killed someone else in the same neighborhood a few months ago. "The drug activity drives the violence," said Reverend Charles Harrison with the Indy Ten Point Coalition. Police are still investigating if the series of shootings may involve the same male suspect, but people who live in the area like Reverend Harrison hope the FBI and IMPD can help stop the violence. "People are just fed up. They want this to end," said Harrison. In fact, there have now been 10 homicides within one mile of Monday's killing on 30th Street.  Most recently on Oct. 17, police found another man shot to death in an alley just a block south of that home in the 600 block of W. 29th Street. Motorcyclist critically injured after chase in Whiteland "And it all stems from the drug trafficking and other criminal activity. That is leading to the violence and people are fed up with it. They want something done about it and they want these areas cleaned up," said Harrison. "They want this madness to stop." The woman who was arrested is due in court later this week. In the meantime, an FBI spokesperson said the investigation is ongoing and they could not comment further.
