20-year-old charged with attempted murder in Greenwood

GREENWOOD, Ind. (WISH) — A 20-year-old man faces criminal charges including attempted murder in a shooting involving his stepfather and his stepfather’s son, Johnson County authorities say.

Joseph M. Davidson, of Greenwood, has an initial hearing set for Monday afternoon in Johnson Superior Court 3 in Franklin. On Wednesday night, he remained in the Johnson County Jail on what online court records listed as a $100,000 cash bond.

The stepfather, Aaron Hawthorne, and his son were not injured in the shooting.

According to a redacted court document from the Johnson County prosecutor, Hawthorne reported the shooting to police on Sunday from a disabled vehicle in the 1600 block of Tuscany Drive. That’s in The Trails at Woodfield housing subdivision off South Honey Creek Road, which is about a mile east of the intersection of State Road 135 and Olive Branch Road.

The redacted court document did not name the stepfather’s son and blacked out the age of the stepfather’s son.

The shooting report came about the same time police were sent to the home of Davidson’s mother, where a domestic dispute was reported. The redacted court document blacked out the location of the home.
