The gunshot victim:
Chloe Carroll, 15, was fatally shot in the head while sitting in the back seat of an SUV parked outside a gas station, located at S. 13th and Poplar Streets, last Friday. Emergency crews found the vehicle and the shooting victim just after midnight, a few blocks east of the incident.

Chloe was transported to a nearby hospital, where she died a short time later.
 
The suspects have been identified as:

• A 15-year-old boy was arrested the day of the shooting. He remains held in the Vigo County Juvenile Center, where he is charged with murder, attempted murder, aggravated battery, criminal recklessness and possession of a firearm without a permit.
• A 17-year-old boy, Cody Scherb, was arrested three days after the shooting. He initially was taken to the juvenile center, as well. He is charged with dangerous possession of a firearm by a child (with a previous conviction,) possession of marijuana, theft of a firearm and unauthorized entry of a vehicle.   Meanwhile, Vigo Co. Prosecutor Terry Modesitt stated this week that Scherb will be tried as an adult in Superior Court-Div. 6.  His initial hearing is set for Monday afternoon.  ​

​Information available on the case has been vague. However, according to the probable cause affidavit, filed by Det. Julia Piety, of The Terre Haute Police Department, the shooting occurred while Scherb was inside the gas station. Police reportedly found a Springfield Armory 9mm handgun on Scherb. They say it had recently been reported stolen  from a local resident's vehicle.

Scherb was found at a S. 15th Street residence, where the suspect and his mother consented to a search of his backpack and a black pouch in his possession.

Scherb reportedly confessed to carrying the gun around for a while.

"Cody admitted to being the owner of the handgun and said that he has carried it with him for the past few weeks," Piety stated in the court documents.

Any other possible evidence  and specific details regarding the case are not provided by officials.
