On a summer evening in Aurora, Indiana, the life of 30-year-old Brittany L. Black was tragically cut short. On July 28, 2017, while mowing the lawn of her Dearborn County home with her husband, Kyle Black, Brittany was fatally shot. The attack also left her 37-year-old husband in critical condition from a gunshot wound to the torso. Despite his own severe injuries, Kyle was able to call 911 to report the shooting.
The investigation swiftly led authorities to their 55-year-old neighbor, Terry Storey. Evidence discovered at the scene pointed to Storey's involvement in the seemingly unprovoked attack. It is believed that a dispute over a property line may have been the motive behind the violent outburst. Storey had a history of disputes with neighbors.
During his arrest, Storey resisted and reportedly threatened the officers. He was taken into custody and faced preliminary charges of murder, attempted murder, resisting law enforcement, and battery. Further charges of aggravated battery, obstruction of justice, and battery on a public safety official were also filed against him. Storey had prior convictions for disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, and battery on a law enforcement officer, and had recently been released from probation at the time of the incident. He was held without bond following his arrest.
