On April 9, 2015, a multi-county, multi-state police pursuit ended in Monon, Indiana, in a hostage situation that concluded with the fatal shooting of 29-year-old Don O’Neal Smith Jr. Law enforcement officers were involved in the shooting that killed Smith, and a hostage was wounded during the confrontation.

Smith was identified as the deceased suspect; because he died during the incident, there were no arrests, charges, or a trial. An obituary described his death as a tragic incident.

What details are still unclear about the events that led up to the Monon standoff?
