Indianapolis man tries to run down wife in parking lot then breaks in her window and shoots her

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – An Indianapolis man is facing a slew of charges after allegedly attempting to kill his estranged wife twice in two days. Carlton Gray, 46, is accused of trying to run her over with his car outside a Goodwill store where she worked and then shooting her the next day.

Court documents describe a pattern of harassment, indicating Gray had repeatedly threatened his wife since their separation in March, often confronting her at work with threats like, “I’m going to kill you.”

The terrifying sequence of events escalated as Gray allegedly broke into a residence the following day and fired five shots, wounding his wife in the leg.

Reports indicate Gray also made threats against his estranged wife’s new boyfriend during this time.

Gray now faces multiple charges, including two counts of attempted murder, intimidation, and burglary, along with weapon-related offenses. His criminal history reveals a pattern of violence, with previous arrests dating back to 2003, including a domestic battery charge in 2005.

The legal proceedings continue as Gray was recently arraigned and held on a $200,000 bond with a no-contact order. Should he post bail, an order requires him to wear a GPS monitor and adhere to home detention. His next court hearing is set for June 11.

As the investigation unfolds, authorities and legal professionals will be closely monitoring the situation, especially considering the serious nature of the allegations and Gray’s criminal past. The community now watches anxiously, awaiting further developments in the case.

Significantly, Gray also has a pending charge of reckless homicide from 2020, which remains active in the courts, adding another layer to his legal troubles.
