Two charged for shooting death of Indianapolis delivery driver

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Two suspects have been charged with murdering an Indianapolis delivery driver, CBS affiliate WTTV reports.

According to court documents, Peter Hutchings, 25, and Terri Williams, 17, placed an order for Chinese food on the night of Nov. 3.

When delivery driver Mark Miller showed up at the apartment complex with the food, he got into an argument with Hutchings, according to the station. A witness said they saw Miller get into his truck and accelerate in reverse. That's when Hutchings reportedly shot him.

Investigators tracked down Hutchings and Williams using the address and phone number information from the Chinese food order, according to the station. But they gave very different accounts of events leading up to the incident.

Williams admitted that Hutchings told her to call in the order for delivery, but she denied she knew it was a robbery attempt.

She told police Hutchings approached Miller while he was in his truck and demanded money. But when Hutchings walked behind the truck it backed up and began dragging him, which is when Hutchings shot Miller.

But Hutchings told police the truck never touched him.

After the shooting, the pair allegedly went to Hutchings' father's apartment nearby. Williams told police she hid the gun in the fridge, which is where they found it.

The station reported that when questioned, Hutchings denied being the shooter and changed his story several times.

Hutchings was charged with two counts of murder, attempted robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, conspiracy to commit robbery, unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, and carrying a handgun without a license, according to the station.

Williams was charged as an adult with murder, attempted robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, and conspiracy to commit robbery.
