INDIANAPOLIS, IN. Authorities have confirmed that 40-year-old Clifford Hudson has died after succumbing to injuries sustained in a weekend shooting on the near west side of Indianapolis.
According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD), officers were called to the 1400 block of North Tibbs Avenue just before 4 p.m. Sunday following reports of a person shot. When they arrived, they found Hudson suffering from a gunshot wound. He was rushed to the hospital, where he remained for two days before tragically passing away.
