Authorities have detained five individuals in connection with the attempted murders of an Indiana judge and his spouse, an incident believed to be linked to an unrelated criminal trial scheduled in Tippecanoe Superior Court under Judge Steven Meyer.

Among those apprehended is the defendant from the pending trial, according to a report by WLS.

Law enforcement arrived at the Meyers’ residence shortly after 2 p.m. on Sunday. They discovered Steven Meyer suffering from a gunshot wound to his arm, while his wife, Kimberly Meyer, had been shot in the hip, as previously reported by CrimeOnline.

On Thursday, Lafayette Police revealed the arrests of Raylen Ferguson, 38; Thomas Moss, 43; Blake Smith, 32; Amanda Milsap, 45; and Zenada Greer, 61.

Ferguson and Moss face several charges, including attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, aggravated battery, and battery resulting in serious harm. They are also charged with battery using a deadly weapon, intimidation with a deadly weapon, and attempted obstruction of justice. Additional charges for both include gang and firearm enhancements, with Moss facing an extra charge for being a habitual offender.

Smith is charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to murder, aggravated battery, battery by means of a deadly weapon, intimidation with a deadly weapon, and assisting a criminal by providing a deadly weapon. His charges also have gang and firearm enhancements, and he is charged as a habitual offender.

Milsap and Greer are both charged with obstruction of justice. Milsap has an additional charge of bribery, while Greer has an additional charge of assisting a criminal.

WLS reported that Moss was due to appear before Meyer on Tuesday in a case that had been pushed back several times. He is charged in that case with possession of a firearm by a violent felon, shooting into a building, and domestic battery with a deadly weapon, charges that stemmed from a 2024 incident.

Meyer had recently denied Moss’s latest attempt to postpone the trial, court documents say, and so he and his co-conspirators decided to take matter into their own hands.

Moss and several of his co-defendants are members of the Phantom Motorcycle Club, the documents say, and Moss is purportedly a “high ranking member” of the club’s Indiana chapter.

Ferguson, police say, pulled the trigger, approaching the Meyers’ home under the guise of looking for his dog. When Meyer did not open the door, he “fired multiple shots through the front door,” striking the Meyers.

The Meyers also told police that a few days earlier, a man knocked on their front door and said he had a food delivery, but again Meyer refused to open the door, saying he hadn’t ordered any food, according to the probable cause affidavit.

Surveillance footage captured that person approaching the door and revealed that he had “the same distinct pattern/cadence as Ferguson when he approached the residence immediately before the shooting on January 18, 2026.”

A witness who had been scheduled to testify against Moss reached out to police after the shooting and reported a similar incident at her door.

Just over a week before the trial was supposed to happen, she said, someone “wearing a mask, breathing heavily, and with a wobbly walk approached her residence and knocked on the door”

“The individual knocked on the door and then ultimately left the residence,” she said, after “she and her husband did not answer the door nor respond to the individual in any way.” Surveillance footage from that incident showed a person wearing a mask and with a “distinct walk/gait” that was “consistent” with the person who came to the Meyers’ door.

The court documents further say that in the previous month, Milsap tried to bribe that victim into not testifying and to “absent herself from the proceeding.”
