GREENWOOD, Ind. — The Johnson County Prosecutor's Office has filed murder and attempted murder charges against a 21-year-old Indianapolis man in connection with a shooting that killed an uninvolved bystander at a Greenwood apartment complex.
Isiah Quin Peak Jr. was charged with Murder, and Attempted Murder in the death of 22-year-old Bidan Mburu.
Greenwood police responded to the 800 block of Dover Drive at Westminster Apartments around 10:15 p.m. Tuesday after reports of shots fired. Officers found Mburu unconscious with an apparent gunshot wound. He was transported to Methodist Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
According to the probable cause affidavit, detectives learned Peak was involved in an altercation with a female during which he had a firearm. The affidavit details statements from three individuals who described aggressive actions and words Peak displayed after he was confronted by the woman about pictures and videos he had on his phone with other women.
Peak later shot at a separate male, the female's brother, but the shot missed and struck Mburu in the head, according to the affidavit. The male fired back in response but did not strike Peak or anyone. The affidavit states Mburu was not involved in the situation and was simply returning to his apartment.
Peak fled the scene prior to law enforcement arriving. Greenwood Police worked with the U.S. Marshall's Service and Indiana State Police to locate Peak.
The affidavit states Peak was later found at the InTown Suites located at 2301 Post Drive in Indianapolis. The Greenwood Police Department SWAT Team took Peak into custody without incident at the hotel. Peak did not wish to speak with law enforcement.
Peak is being held in the Johnson County Jail.
