In late summer 2014, gun store owner Scott Maxie, 61, was found dead inside his business, Muscatatuck Outdoors Gun Shop, which adjoined his home in North Vernon, Indiana. He was discovered on Sunday, September 21, 2014; an autopsy confirmed a single gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators determined the killing followed a planned robbery. On September 20, three men from Indianapolis — Darryl Worthen, his brother DeJuan Worthen, and their cousin Darion Harris — had visited the shop to survey inventory. The next day they returned, disabled a security camera, and during the theft Darryl Worthen shot Maxie. The men stole dozens of firearms, later selling and distributing some of them after returning to Indianapolis.

Local and federal agencies arrested the three suspects within 36 hours; many of the stolen guns remained unrecovered at that time. Does anyone in North Vernon or Indianapolis remember seeing activity around Muscatatuck Outdoors in September 2014 or have information about the stolen firearms?
