An Indiana man is facing charges after allegedly shooting another man during a dispute over his plans for money intended for his child’s Christmas, according to local authorities.

Keymaree Fagin, aged 22, is charged with murder, pointing a firearm, and carrying a handgun illegally due to a prior felony conviction within the last 15 years. These charges were filed in Marion County Superior Court, as reported by Law&Crime.

The incident occurred on December 23 when Logan Newman, 21, was driving around Indianapolis with a woman in the front passenger seat and another man seated behind her. This rear passenger suggested stopping to meet his friend, Fagin, for a drink.

Upon picking up Fagin from his residence, he allegedly began showing off a gun, claiming he had stolen it, according to local NBC station WTHR, which cited the woman’s testimony from court documents. The group then traveled to a Walmart to purchase alcohol before heading to a park on Blooming Grove Drive in Camby, a suburb of Indianapolis.

At the park, Fagin reportedly contacted a friend who was in jail, telling him that he intended to use some of the Christmas funds meant for his child to add to the friend’s commissary account. The woman also noted that Fagin mentioned he would join the friend in jail, though the context of this statement remains unclear.

Newman and the woman are said to have taken issue with Fagin’s suggested use of the Christmas funds, with Newman reportedly saying he thought it was a bad idea. But when they told Fagin this, Fagin allegedly got upset and accused Newman of speaking poorly about his kid.

An argument broke out, and Fagin “became more agitated, grunting and huffing,” per WTHR, ejecting and reinserting bullets into his gun. Inside the car, the suspect allegedly began to point the gun at Newman’s head, and Newman suggested they fight outside of the vehicle.

“No, I’m going to shoot you,” Fagin reportedly replied, proceeding to put the gun to Newman’s head and shoot him multiple times.

The victim slumped over the car’s dashboard — his foot still on the gas — and crashed into the fencing around a nearby tennis court, the witness said. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department reported being at the scene of a homicide investigation at about 12:50 p.m. that day, searching for a suspect.

Nine minutes later, police announced they had detained someone. Newman was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to local Fox and CBS affiliate WXIN, surveillance cameras captured the gunfire coming from inside the vehicle and then the suspect running from the car after the crash. Once he was arrested, Fagin allegedly admitted to having had an argument with Newman, though he claimed someone outside the car fired the shots.

Fagin has a jury trial scheduled for March 23, 2026.

An obituary for Newman states that, along with his fiancee, he was expecting his first child in July 2026.
