Angel Luna
Bargersville police are investigating after the body of an Indianapolis man was found near a pond Thursday morning.
The body of Angel Luna, 19, was located near a pond in the area of State Road 135 and Clary Boulevard South Drive before noon Thursday, according to the Johnson County Coroner’s Office. The pond is adjacent to a field just south of Aspen Trace, a senior living facility at 3145 S. State Road 135, Bargersville.
Luna was found during a search of the area after the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department pinged a missing person’s cellphone near Clary Boulevard South Drive and State Road 135, said Jeremy Roll, Bargersville police spokesperson.
Officers began searching the pinged area beginning around 9 a.m., starting east of State Road 135 within Greenwood’s jurisdiction. The search eventually went west across State Road 135 into Bargersville jurisdiction, and Bargersville police were notified a body was found around 11:45 a.m., Roll said.
The investigation is initially being labeled as a suspicious death rather than homicide, but that could change as the investigation continues, Roll said.
It is unknown at this time if the death occurred where Luna’s body was found, but the body has been there for “a while,” he said.
Bargersville police, IMPD and other agencies including the Johnson County Coroner’s Office are still investigating the incident. Franklin police’s crime scene unit and the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office are assisting.
An autopsy is scheduled for Friday morning, according to the Johnson County Coroner’s Office.
