One woman died after being stabbed at a downtown Indianapolis park near the Indiana War Memorial just after 5 p.m. Thursday, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
Crime scene tape closed off a large portion of University Park as investigators gathered evidence. People exercising and walking their dogs passed nearby, while a group of people gathered for a food giveaway close to the scene.
Officers were called to the 300 block of North Meridian Street because of a disturbance or fight, said IMPD Officer William Young. The officers arrive within minutes and found a woman with stab wounds.
The woman was identified as Taylor George, 24, who died of sharp force injuries, according to the Marion County Coroner's Office.
George was transported to a hospital in critical condition, where she died, Young said.

“Our officers were very close when this call came in,” Young said. “I believe it's a matter of folks learning how to deal with conflict resolution."
