当地官员表示，1月份发生在印第安纳州拉斐特市一名法官及其妻子家中的枪击案，周三又有一名6人被捕。
拉斐特警察局周三晚间通报称，23岁的内瓦埃·贝尔（Nevaeh Bell）因1月18日的枪击事件被拘留，该事件造成 Tippecanoe 县高级法院法官史蒂文·迈耶（Steven Meyer）及其妻子金·迈耶（Kim）受伤。
警方表示，贝尔面临12项初步重罪指控，包括两项谋杀未遂和一项谋杀共谋指控。
上个月，在拉斐特警察局所谓的”涉及数百小时调查工作的跨州协调行动”之后，另有五人被捕。
他们被确认为肯塔基州38岁的雷伦·弗格森（Raylen Ferguson）和61岁的泽纳达·格里尔（Zenada Greer），以及印第安纳州居民43岁的托马斯·莫斯（Thomas Moss）、32岁的布莱克·史密斯（Blake Smith）和45岁的阿曼达·米尔斯帕（Amanda Milsap）。
警方指控一个摩托车俱乐部和一个街头帮派成员将迈耶作为目标，称这起枪击事件是为了破坏针对莫斯的家庭暴力案件的阴谋的一部分。莫斯是底特律幻影MC摩托车俱乐部的成员，该俱乐部与副领主街头帮派有关联。
法庭记录显示，莫斯于2024年6月被指控多项暴力重罪，保释在外，原定于1月20日在迈耶主持下开庭审理——而枪击事件发生在两天后。

迈耶和他的妻子金在他们家中遇袭。警方称，史蒂文·迈耶手臂受伤，金伯利·迈耶髋部受伤。
根据急救调度员的录音，报告枪击事件的来电者称，有人敲门说”我们有你的狗”，然后子弹从门里射入。
金·迈耶上个月在一份声明中表示，她和丈夫对拉斐特警方的调查”充满信心”，并感谢所有参与的机构。
“我们也非常感谢社区的大力支持；每个人都非常善良和富有同情心，”她说。”我们尤其要感谢在事件发生后为我们提供护理和帮助的医务人员。”

A sixth person was arrested Wednesday in connection with the shooting of a judge and his wife in their home in Lafayette, Indiana, in January, local officials said.
The Lafayette Police Department reported Wednesday night that 23-year-old Nevaeh Bell was taken into custody in the Jan. 18 shooting that wounded Tippecanoe County Superior Court Judge Steven Meyer and his wife, Kim.
Police said Bell faces 12 preliminary felony charges, including two counts of attempted murder and a count of conspiracy to commit murder.
Five others were arrested last month after what the Lafayette Police Department called “a coordinated, multi-state operation involving hundreds of investigative hours.”
They were identified as 38-year-old Raylen Ferguson and 61-year-old Zenada Greer of Kentucky, as well as Indiana residents Thomas Moss, 43, Blake Smith, 32, and 45-year-old Amanda Milsap.
Police have accused members of a motorcycle club and a street gang of targeting Meyer, alleging the shooting was part of a scheme to derail a domestic abuse case against Moss, a member of the Detroit-based Phantom MC motorcycle club with ties to the Vice Lords street gang.
Moss was charged with multiple violent felonies in June 2024 and was out on bond, according to court records, which also show that he was scheduled to go on trial in front of Meyer on Jan. 20 — two days after the shooting took place.

Meyer and his wife, Kim, were shot at their home. Steven Meyer suffered an injury to his arm, and Kimberly Meyer sustained an injury to her hip, according to police.
According to a recording of the emergency dispatch operator, the caller who reported the shooting said there was a knock on the door, someone told them we have your dog, and then a shot came through the door.
Kim Meyer said in a statement last month that she and her husband have “great confidence” in the Lafayette police investigation and thanked all the agencies involved.
“We are also incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from the community; everyone has been so kind and compassionate,” she said. “We would especially like to thank the medical personnel who provided care and assistance to us following the incident.”
