Two Indianapolis men are facing preliminary charges of attempted murder following a road rage incident that escalated into gunfire, according to Indiana State Police. Kevin Hill, 59, and Terrance Seagraves, 30, were taken into custody after the altercation that took place last Friday evening.
Around 8 p.m., two state troopers were stopped for a meal when they heard shots fired nearby, reported WRTV. Acting swiftly, the officers headed to a restaurant parking lot on Shadeland Avenue, just south of 21st Street where they found a gunshot victim. While one officer provided medical aid to the injured man, the other searched for the suspect vehicle—a black Ford Escape—spotted a half mile from the scene with Hill and Seagraves inside.
State Police indicated that the victim was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The events leading up to the shooting seem to have begun with a road rage confrontation near 21st Street and Rama Place, which escalated in the parking lot to verbal altercations and then gunfire, as described to FOX59. A handgun, believed to be associated with them shooting, was found on the ground outside the suspects' vehicle.
Investigators are looking into the details that transpired during the incident. While Hill has been booked into the Adult Detention Center on a preliminary charge of murder, online jail records did not reveal booking details for Seagraves at the time of the report. No initial hearing has been scheduled, and the final charging decisions will rest with the Marion County Prosecutor's Office, as per WBIW. Details of a potential motive or what may have specifically sparked the road rage are yet to be disclosed by the authorities.
