INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Indianapolis police on Thursday arrested two suspects in two separate 2024 murders, including a man accused of deliberately driving his car through a large group of people, striking one and killed.

The first arrest took place early Thursday. 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 in the case March 28 death of 25-year-old Addam Hart.

IMPD officers were called to a home in the 2200 block of Gable Drive, just southeast of I-70 and North Mitthoeffer Road, to investigate a person shot. There they found Hart with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a 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 came running downstairs. He fell to the floor with a gunshot wound outside her bedroom door.

In May, IMPD arrested an underage girl for her role in the murder, who was later charged as an adult with aiding or abetting Hart’s murder. Savannah Allen16 years old at the time of the killing, police told police she joined a group of people shooting at the Gable Drive home. Allen said the group had discussed going after someone accused of sexual assault.

The second arrest occurred later on Thursday, when officers arrested Felipe Maguellal, 33, for a fatal hit-and-run incident that occurred outside a west side bar.

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

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

Both men were booked into the Marion County Jail and held without bond. Both are provisionally charged with murder.
