Police have made an arrest in the killing of 23-year-old Brett Scrogham, an Indiana University Business School graduate who was shot in Indianapolis on May 28.
Investigators say a 14-year-old suspect gunned down Scrogham inside his car in a downtown parking garage while on his way to an Indianapolis Indians Minor League baseball game. The suspect has not been named by police.
It is possible for the teen to be charged as an adult, but it would require a waiver of jurisdiction, according to Indiana state law. The teen was arrested on Wednesday.

“My friend, Brett Scrogham, was murdered this past week in a parking garage in broad daylight in downtown Indianapolis while meeting up with his family for an Indians game in a random act of violence. He had graduated as a top 100 student at the IU Kelley School of Business just weeks ago, was well spoken, smart, loved Christ, incredibly kind, and had just started his new job as a property development analyst. He was exactly the kind of person the world needs more of.”
WTHR reported Marion County Indiana Prosecutor Ryan Mears will be providing a possible update on the case Friday morning.
