A 26-year-old man who police say fired about 13 shots into the southeast side of the Windermere Place Apartments' Clubhouse on Sept. 28 was still at large Tuesday afternoon. David Keglar, 9723 English Oak Drive, Indianapolis, is the only suspect, according to the police report.
Employees of Windermere Place told police that Annita Harding, 21, who lives in building one of the complex, and a man who refused to identify himself came into the office before the shooting. The police report said the pair informed staff that they felt the man's car had been unfairly towed.
According to the police report, Harding and the man began demanding a refund for the towing fee. The staff refused to give them the money, and the two left angry.
About 15 minutes later, Windermere maintenance men and residents heard shots being fired on the south end of the property. No one reported seeing the person who was shooting, reports said. About eleven of the bullets broke through the window into Windermere's workout room.
Later that day, Harding went to police and told them she was in the car with the suspect when the shots were being fired from it, according to the police report.
In a phone interview Tuesday, Harding denied being involved with the suspect.
Harding said she entered the Windermere office alone to talk to the staff about parking policies.
While Harding was in the office, a man, who she said she did not know, came in to complain about his car being towed.
After leaving the office, Harding said she was sitting in her car, talking on her cell phone when she heard shots but did not see anything.
Harding said she then went to the University Police Department to let them know what she had heard at Windermere.
"I heard they thought the shots were coming from my car, and that's why I went to the police," Harding said. "I had nothing to do with it, and that's what I told the police."
Jessica Nix, director of public relations with Place Properties, said if a resident is found to have violated Windermere's no firearm policy, they could be evicted,
"But if there is not a formal charge, we can't execute that policy," Nix said. "But we will firmly stand behind that policy of no firearms."
Nix and Windermere management are waiting on police to finish investigating before they take action.
"Essentially, our hands are tied until the police investigation is concluded," Nix said. "We want to do everything we can to cooperate with the authorities."
