A shopping trip in Camby, Indiana, ended in a deadly confrontation for 34-year-old Matthew Steele of Indianapolis. On June 2, 2024, in the Walmart parking lot at 8191 Upland Way, witnesses say Steele and a 19-year-old man engaged in a verbal and physical altercation. The dispute escalated when a firearm was produced and fired, striking Steele in the torso.

Hendricks County deputies arrived around 1:44 p.m. and found Steele wounded; he was taken to IU Health Methodist Hospital in critical condition and later died of his injuries. The 19-year-old was detained at the scene. After an investigation by Hendricks County Detectives, the prosecutor reviewed the case and declined to file criminal charges, citing evidence of self-defense, and the 19-year-old was released.
