Just before 11:00 am this morning, Hendricks County Deputies responded to a call about a gunshot victim at the TA Truck stop at SR 39 and I-70.

A male driver of a Subaru Outback and his female and infant passengers were eastbound on I-70 near the 57 mile marker, just west of State Road 39, were traveling in the left lane when they were passed, on the right, by a white vehicle with dark tinted windows. The passing vehicle, believed to possibly be a Hyundai Elantra, then cut in front of the victim.

The victim changed into the right lane, pulling alongside the white car. A passenger in the white car then fired a gun multiple times at the victim driving the Subaru, striking him in the lower leg. The suspects continued eastbound on I-70.The victim exited I-70 on the State Road 39 exit at the TA truck stop and dialed 911.  

The victim, whose name has not yet been released, had nonlife-threatening injuries to his lower leg and was taken to an Indianapolis area hospital. His female and infant passengers were not injured during the incident. The incident is believed to be a case of road rage.

The suspect vehicle is described as a white 4 door passenger car with dark tinted windows, possibly a Hyundai Elantra occupied by at least 3 black males.  Anyone with any information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division at (317) 745-9354 and reference case number 21-7769.
