The main person of interest in a double homicide Christmas Eve at a gas station on the county’s far westside remained at large Monday.
Bargersville police made progress toward locating Levi Bradley Camplin, 18, of Morgan County, in the days following the shooting, but have not located him, said Jeremy Roll, spokesperson for the Bargersville Police Department.
Investigators are working closely with the Johnson County Prosecutor’s Office, but have not recommended any charges be filed or requested any warrants for Camplin or anyone else’s arrest, Roll said.
Police want to speak with Camplin about the Christmas Eve shooting that killed Ethan Bell, 20, of Indianapolis, and a 17 year old whose identity has not been released yet. A survivor, Devon McHugh, 18, of Martinsville, is recovering from a gunshot wound at Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Hospital in Indianapolis. He was in stable condition Monday, a hospital spokesperson said.
McHugh is the sole witness to the shooting. Police hope to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the incident from Camplin and anyone else who may have information about it, Roll said.
The shooting was reported at 5:08 a.m. Thursday, after a customer at the gas station near the State Road 37 and State Road 144 intersection encountered the aftermath of the shooting on the northside of the parking lot, he said.
Police said Monday they weren’t ready to release information about what the men and the minor were doing at the gas station, but say Camplin may be able to shed light on that.
“That would be a good piece of the puzzle to have from the person of interest,” Roll said.
The public is asked to call the Bargersville Police Department at 317-736-5155 with any information about Camplin’s whereabouts or the incident.
Camplin is approximately 5’06” and 180 lbs, with brown hair and brown eyes. Police advised individuals not to approach Camplin, but said there is no immediate danger to the public.
