Around 2 p.m. on Sunday, two boys were outside playing near Eagle Pointe Drive North on Indianapolis's northwest side when a vehicle hit them. The driver stopped briefly, then drove away. The 9-year-old was killed. His 6-year-old brother was injured and has since been released from the hospital.

A critical lead

Investigators obtained the vehicle's license plate number, and Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) officers used Flock cameras to locate the suspect's SUV. Lawrence police found the vehicle in the 10300 block of Pendleton Pike and arrested the driver at a carwash roughly two hours after the crash.

Charges filed

The 31-year-old was charged with failure to remain at the scene of a crash resulting in death and failure to remain at the scene of a crash causing moderate or serious bodily injury.
