INDIANAPOLIS — For the first time, an Indianapolis woman is speaking about a terrifying ordeal she experienced last month. She was carjacked at gunpoint, and that carjacking ended when an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer shot her attacker on North Kealing Avenue.
This week, the Marion County Coroner’s Office confirmed the suspect, 25-year-old Julius Hill, died from the injuries he sustained in the shooting.
Court documents indicate Hill’s father called 911 on Oct. 27 — the day of the shooting — to tell police Hill wasn’t taking his schizophrenia medication, and that he had a gun. His father also said he saw Hill get in a car with a woman who was visibly scared.
“I slammed on my brakes and told him to get out of my car,” the victim, who asked to remain anonymous, said. “He was like, ‘I said drive.’ I said, ‘get out of my car.’ Then he just put a gun to my head.”
The woman said she was taking her dog to the park before a man, later identified as Hill, pulled on her car’s door handle and forced his way into the vehicle through a window.
