Man shot to death Saturday night

Joshua Huber, a 25-year-old Bloomington resident, was shot and killed at about 11:45 p.m. Saturday in the 2600 block of East Dekist Street.

The Bloomington Police Department responded to a call about a possible shot fired Saturday evening.

Huber was the only gunshot-wound victim when officers arrived at the scene.

An ambulance transported Huber to IU Health Bloomington Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, BPD Lt. Faron Lake said.

Huber was in the house with an unknown number of people who were attacked by assailants.

The victims inside the house said five men entered, demanding drugs and money.

The men then pistol-whipped and beat the victims, Lake said.

Lake said victims described the assailants as black men.

Victims could not give more precise descriptions because the men had bandanas covering their noses and mouths and wore hooded sweatshirts, Lake said.

BPD detectives are investigating the case. Lake said police believe the house was not randomly targeted.
