Police: Driver Kills Boy Who Threw Egg At Vehicle
UPDATED: 1:39 pm EDT July 26, 2005
INDIANAPOLIS -- A prank may have cost a boy his life on Indianapolis' west side.
As many as seven teenagers were throwing eggs at cars about 11 p.m. Sunday, according to police.
Marion County, Ind., sheriff's deputies said that after the juveniles hit one motorist in the face, the man drove off before returning with a gun, shooting one 15-year-old boy in the leg and another 17-year-old boy in the stomach.
"The victim that was shot with the non-life-threatening injuries, he actually went to a residence and called us -- called the sheriff's department," Marion County sheriff's Sgt. Michael DeHart said.
DeHart said two other teens "regrouped at some location, became worried about (another teen) they had not heard from, and returned back to the site of the shooting and found him in the bushes."
Brandon Dunson, 15, was dead when his friends found him. The other victim, Michael Dyer, 17, was treated and released.
Investigators are still looking for the shooter. He was described as a white male in his 30s, about 6 feet tall. He was driving a maroon or red late 80s Ford full size pickup truck.
James Patterson was one of the boys involved in the egg-throwing incident.
"I think they should find him (the shooter). I don't know where he is right now, but I hope he regrets what he did because he just shot a minor over some eggs," Patterson said. "He didn't have to take it to the extreme. He could've just called the cops. He didn't have to go home, get a gun and come back and shoot us."
