MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. — A local man faces murder charges in connection with a weekend shooting in northwest Indiana.

Craig Issiah Anderson, 20, of Danville was arrested by Michigan City, Ind., police following a shooting and carjacking incident Wednesday evening on the city’s south side. He is being held without bond.

Police say Anderson and the shooting victim, Michael Hill, 20, of Michigan City, got into an afternoon argument at an apartment complex, according to a story published Saturday in the La Porte County Herald-Argus.

Anderson allegedly left the scene and returned with a gun and waited for Hill to return, according to the Herald-Argus. Police say Anderson admitted the two began fighting when Hill returned and a gun Anderson pulled out went off once.

Hill, who was not armed, died of a single gunshot wound to the head, the Herald-Argus reported. Anderson then fled in a vehicle, which he crashed a short time later. Police allege he then carjacked the vehicle of a couple who stopped to help, dragging a woman for some distance before she was shoved away, according to the Herald-Argus.

Anderson, listed in Vermilion County Circuit Court records, already faces misdemeanor possession of cannabis charges filed in April. He pleaded guilty to a similar cannabis charge in 2007 in Vermilion County.
