Lelan-Eric W Sharp, a 22-year-old man from North Vernon, Indiana, was found with a gunshot wound to his abdomen in a vehicle in Seymour in the early morning of July 29, 2021. A driver flagged down a woman who called 911; Sharp was taken to Schneck Medical Center and then transferred to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, where he died from his injuries.

Investigators determined the shooting did not occur in the car but inside a residence in the 8000 block of North County Road 925E in Seymour during a domestic dispute. Police identified 34-year-old Jeremiah Christopher Oliger of Seymour as the primary suspect; he was arrested and initially faced charges including murder, reckless homicide, obstruction of justice, and unlawful possession of a handgun by a violent felon. The murder charge was later dismissed; Oliger pleaded guilty to reckless homicide and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with a court-ordered drug and alcohol treatment program.
