An Indiana teenager, who had been on the run following a suspected fatal shooting last year, has voluntarily surrendered to authorities.

Antwan Hayes, 19, is now in police custody after the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department identified him as the alleged shooter in the death of 23-year-old Kenneth Anthony Murff Jr. on November 11, 2025. Hayes turned himself in on January 1 and has been officially charged with murder and burglary with a deadly weapon.

According to court documents accessed by local Fox affiliate WXIN, Hayes had reportedly threatened to kill any new boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend. Although Murff was not romantically involved with Hayes’ ex-girlfriend, his brother was, according to police.

Authorities stated that Hayes issued the threat following his breakup with the woman several months before the tragic incident. The woman, who remains unnamed, informed police that she attempted to conceal her new relationship from Hayes and took steps to ensure he could not locate her.

Despite her efforts, police reported that Hayes eventually found her. In the early hours of November 11, 2025, the woman arrived at the home of her new boyfriend in Indianapolis at 4 a.m. Just 10 minutes later, Hayes appeared at the same residence, having tried to reach out to her multiple times prior to his arrival.

According to court documents, Hayes was seen on surveillance video at the home carrying a pistol with an extended magazine as he approached the front door. Several neighbors told police that they heard Hayes shouting at the woman to open the door and allegedly saying, “Open the front door before I kill somebody.”

When no one let Hayes in, he went to the side of the home and allegedly fired multiple shots into a side window, hitting Murff. Murff was taken to the hospital in critical condition and later died of his injuries.

Police said Hayes and his ex-girlfriend fled the property in her car. She later said she left with Hayes because she was “confused and afraid.” She told police that she never expected Hayes to follow through on his alleged threats.

Hayes was charged with murder and burglary with a deadly weapon. He is being held in the Marion County Jail without bond. His next court date is scheduled for March 3.
