INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Johnson County District Attorney’s Office has filed murder charges against a 13-year-old Greenwood boy for a shooting that killed another 13-year-old boy earlier this month.

Greenwood Police Department officers responded to a possible suicide attempt at a home on Crescent Drive at 1 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 10. This is a residential area off Stop 18 Road, just west of US 31.

Officers arrived and found 13-year-old James Davis who had been shot.

Davis was taken to Riley Children’s Hospital in critical condition. He died from his injuries four days later.

Investigators believe the suspect Davis and four other children were playing with the gun when the suspect pointed the gun at Davis and shot him.

The suspect and 4 other people fled the scene. Police said the suspect called 911 about 20 minutes later and reported that he had attempted suicide at the home on Crescent Drive.

The suspect was arrested on a preliminary charge of murder and transported to the Johnson County Juvenile Detention Facility.

Prosecutors may seek to move the case to adult court under Indiana law, but no decision has been made yet.

The first hearing is planned to be held in juvenile court on November 26.
