An Indiana man allegedly attempted to kill his estranged wife by running her over with his car before shooting her the next day.
Carlton Gray, 46, is being held in the Marion County Jail on charges of attempted murder against his wife, from whom he has been estranged since March. According to court records obtained by local Fox affiliate WXIN, Gray attempted to run the woman over with his vehicle outside the Goodwill store in Indianapolis where she worked. She reportedly told police that Gray had harassed her at work several times and told her, “I’m going to kill you.”
Gray allegedly broke into the woman’s residence the next day and fired five shots, striking her in the leg.
According to WXIN’s reporting on the two alleged murder attempts against his estranged wife, Gray also threatened to kill the woman’s new boyfriend.
Gray was booked into county jail on Tuesday and charged with two counts of attempted murder, intimidation, burglary, battery with a deadly weapon, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon. According to jail records, Gray has an arrest record dating back to 2003, including a domestic battery charge in 2005.
Gray was scheduled to appear in court this month on a reckless homicide charge from 2020. The case is still open and active.
Gray appeared in court on Thursday for his most recent charges, and a judge issued a $200,000 bond and a no-contact order if he is released. If released, he was also required to wear a GPS monitor and remain in home detention. His next court date is set for June 11.
