Shamarian Haywood, a 20-year-old suspect, is apprehended over six months after he allegedly shot 18-year-old Joshua Eberly during a home invasion in Schererville, Indiana. Eberly was defending his home when he sustained life-altering injuries, including the loss of a kidney and damage to his liver and spine, when he refused to hand over his belongings to Haywood during the robbery.
The incident unfolded in the early hours of November 30, when Haywood entered Eberly’s family apartment at gunpoint.

With Haywood now in custody, the community reflects on the teenage victim’s courageous act of self-defense and the long road ahead for his healing journey.
