We now know the name of the innocent bystander who was shot at the end of a police chase in Goshen on Wednesday.
According to Indiana State Police, the victim’s name is Fernando Cuevas.
Authorities say he is a 68-year-old man from Goshen who was in the parking lot of Double D’s on Lincolnway East when police began shooting at an armed suspect.
