Taylor Danielle Hendershot was 30 when she was shot and killed on August 5, 2025, in Vincennes, Indiana. The shooting happened just before 1 p.m. in the parking lot of Cardinal’s Liquor Store on North 6th Street. Emergency personnel and law enforcement responded but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say the suspect fled in a black SUV; that vehicle was found wrecked a block away, and officers tracked the suspect to a nearby Carbon Street residence. A standoff followed after it was reported the suspect was inside and armed with a knife, and law enforcement eventually took the person into custody using less-lethal devices. The victim was a devoted mother to her son Waylon and an artist known for drawings and painting.

If anyone has information about Taylor, her movements that afternoon, or witnessed the incident, please share what you know with local investigators.
