McLean Murt

A 31-year-old Carmel man is in custody after a fatal shooting early Monday inside Britton Tavern, according to the Fishers Police Department.

Officers were called to the area of 14005 Mundy Drive at approximately 2:45 a.m. on December 1 for a report of a shooting. When they arrived, police found a man in his 30s inside the bar suffering from what appeared to be a single gunshot wound.

Officers and medics attempted life-saving measures, but the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say the suspect, identified as Maclean Murt, 31, remained at the bar when officers arrived and was taken into custody without incident. Murt has been arrested on a preliminary charge of murder.  The original police news release listed Murt’s residence as Indianapolis, but jail records now show him as a resident of Carmel.

The Hamilton County Coroner identified the man who was killed as Justin Burton of Noblesville.

Fishers Police say the investigation remains active. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Derek Root at 317-595-3326.
