If you want to donate to support Officer Breann Leath's family, IMPD has a warning for you.

 

In a press release on Friday, IMPD reminds the community to be mindful of where they donate money in Officer Leath's family. IMPD warns, people have created support funds for Officer Leath without permission from Officer Leath's family.

 

Any opportunities for residents to donate to Officer Leath will be officially announced by the IMPD. An announcement on a fund in her honor is coming, though an official date has not been announced.

 

Indianapolis Metro Police say 27-year-old Elliahs Dorsey faces preliminary charges of murder and attempted murder for the death of Officer Breann Leath.

 

IMPD says Leath and two other officers were responding to a domestic violence call at an apartment complex on the city's east side Thursday afternoon. When they knocked on the door, Dorsey fired shots through the door, hitting Leath. She was rushed to a hospital, where she died.

 

Officer Leath was just 24 years old, and a member of IMPD for two years.
