In a tragic turn of events that unfolded on the evening of January 11, 2024, 20-year-old Patrick Day of Avon, Indiana, lost his life in a fatal shooting on Glensford Drive. The incident also resulted in the death of another 20-year-old male, Samual Oliver of Plainfield. Both men were discovered with gunshot wounds, with one pronounced dead at the scene and the other succumbing to his injuries at a local hospital.
Authorities quickly determined that the deadly encounter was the result of
a drug-related robbery that had gone tragically wrong. The investigation into the double homicide led Avon police to explore the circumstances surrounding what they believe was a prearranged drug transaction. Evidence gathered from the scene, including doorbell camera footage from a neighbor, played a crucial role in piecing together the events of that night. Investigators also executed a search warrant at Samual Oliver's home in Plainfield as part of their ongoing inquiry.
In the months following the shooting, a significant breakthrough in the case came with the arrest of two individuals believed to have played a role in the incident. Olivia Kursky was taken into custody, accused of orchestrating the drug deal that led to the fatal confrontation. Another individual, Gavin Bowman, was also arrested. Authorities allege that Bowman supplied Patrick Day with the firearm used in the shooting. Both Kursky and Bowman are now facing legal proceedings for their alleged involvement in the deaths of the two young men.
