INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis police on Thursday arrested two suspects in two separate murders in 2024, including one man accused of intentionally driving his car through a large group of people, hitting and killing one.

The first arrest took place on Thursday morning. According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, officers located 19-year-old Joaquin Harmon-Segura in the 11500 block of Dunshire Drive and took him into custody.

Harmon-Segura is charged with murder On March 28, 25-year-old Addam Hart died.

IMPD officers were called to a home in the 2200 block of Gable Drive, southeast of I-70 and North Mitthoeffer Road, to check on a person who had been shot. There they found Hart with a gunshot wound. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but later died.

Hart’s mother told investigators that after she went to bed on March 28, she heard loud bangs and saw dust falling in her room. She called her son for help, and he ran downstairs. He fell to the floor with a gunshot wound outside her bedroom door.

In May, IMPD arrested a juvenile girl for her role in the killing, who was later charged as an adult with aiding or abetting Hart’s murder. Savannah AllenThe girl, who was 16 at the time of the murder, told police she joined a group of people shooting at a house on Gable Drive. Allen said the group discussed prosecuting a man accused of sexual assault.

The second arrest came later Thursday when police arrested 33-year-old Felipe Maguellal for a fatal hit-and-run incident that happened near a bar on the west side.

According to police, just after midnight on Oct. 19 between Magwellal and another person at the Checkered Flag Tavern at 5725 W Morris St. Bar a fight broke out and Maguellal was asked to leave.

After leaving, Maguellal got into his SUV and “deliberately” drove his car through the crowd of people outside the bar. He punched 40-year-old Perry Banks, who was later pronounced dead at the scene, and fled the bar. It remains unclear whether Banks and Magwellal know each other.

Both men were booked into the Marion County Jail and are being held without bond. Both have been previously charged with murder.
