Investigators with the Indiana State Police released the identity of the deceased juvenile involved in Sunday’s incident late Monday evening and have identified him as 14-year-old Jameson Crawford of Salem.

ISP Detectives have been investigating the incident of an apparent gunshot wound to the head which occurred around 7:10 p.m. Sunday at a residence on East Oak Drive in Salem.

The Salem Police Department responded initially and located the deceased juvenile. Officers then requested assistance from Indiana State Police detectives and crime scene investigators, who responded to investigate.

As a result of the preliminary investigation, Detective Travis Baker took a second 14-year-old male into custody at the scene in connection with the death.

The teen is charged with Reckless Homicide, a Level 5 Felony, and was transported to the Allen County Juvenile Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

An autopsy was conducted in Salem on Monday morning as part of the investigation.

The family has set up a fundraising page to help raise money for funeral expenses. They are looking to raise $12,000.

Beginning on or around Thursday, April 23, crews will begin alternating lane closures on U.S. 150 near Prospect. These lane closures will occur near Cave Quarry Road, over Lick Creek.

This lane closure will allow for a bridge deck overlay project. Work is expected to take a month to complete, depending on the weather.

One lane of traffic will remain open during this project. Traffic flow will be controlled with a temporary traffic signal. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution, and avoid distractions when traveling in and near work zones.
