INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis man accused of murdering a man on I-70 Monday had a GPS monitor on his ankle when police arrested him Tuesday, Indiana State Police announced.

ISP said the man shot — 30-year-old Eli Hickerson, of Carthage, Indiana — was driven to a medical facility near I-70 and Mt. Comfort Road in Hancock County, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
State police said detectives determined Hickerson was a passenger in a red Ford Focus traveling eastbound on I-70. Shots were fired by the driver of a white box truck at the Ford Focus and struck Hickerson at least one time, said ISP. Detectives believe this began as a road rage incident.

He also had a felony arrest warrant in an unrelated crime for charges of armed robbery and battery by means of deadly weapon.
