A June 14 high-speed pursuit initiated by the Carmel Police Department led to an accident in Indianapolis that resulted in the eventual death of Kevin McKelvey, an Indianapolis man whose car was struck by Alexander Mitchell, the suspect being pursued by CPD.

McKelvey’s death – which occurred 15 days after the accident – has raised media scrutiny and some social media criticism over whether the high-speed pursuit was justified.

When contacted by Current, CPD declined to provide details on the case. A statement sent to Current by a CPD spokesperson said: “Due to ongoing civil litigation, we cannot entertain any discussion regarding this case.”.

Indianapolis-based attorney Jon Noyes, who represents the McKelvey estate, told Current that a civil suit had not been filed as of Sept. 3.
