IMPD said the two persons of interest were detained and were taken downtown to be interviewed by detectives.
Davon Porter, 19, was arrested on a count of attempted murder for his alleged role.
During an interview, Porter allegedly told detectives that he had seen the victim arguing with a woman and that it had turned physical. Court docs also show that Porter said he verbally argued with the victim but that he did not go into specifics of the shooting.
However, when asked to identify a suspect in the shooting out of a photo array, the victim chose Porter.
The second detained person, a minor, was released to a parent.
