Noblesville police are investigating a shooting after a teen was found dead Thursday night near the driveway of a home.

According to Lt. Bruce Barnes, gunshots were reported minutes after 10:15 p.m. in the 21000 block of Raccoon Court, near East 216th Street and Little Chicago Road, and found the male fatally wounded. He was identified as 18-year-old Grayson Aubrey Rhue of Roswell, Georgia.

Police said three people were housesitting for the home's owners at the time of the shooting. An early investigation indicates Rhue came to the front door of the home, rang the doorbell and there was a brief conversation between the house guests and Rhue, who eventually walked away.

A few seconds later, Rhue returned to the home and entered, drew a handgun and pointed it at the house guests. One of the house guests, police said, drew his handgun and fired several rounds at Rhue, who began to run away. He collapsed near the end of the driveway, according to a news release from Noblesville police.

Responding officers found a handgun near Rhue when they arrived.

Noblesville police on April 9 said another person was likely with Rhue during the shooting. Officials said the person appears to be male, but details are scant because a mask and gloves covered his face and hands. Police are searching that person.
