VIGO COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) – WTWO obtained stunning video of a Vigo County man being hit by a car Saturday night in what investigators describe as an attempted murder.

The incident occurred around 10 p.m. on Candlewood Circle. Footage from the victim’s Ring camera shows the man pulling into his driveway when he notices a red truck following him down the street. That truck was driven by Dustin L. Roecker, a 35-year-old Bloomington man, Vigo County Sheriff’s officials said.


Suddenly, Roecker accelerates directly toward the victim and crashes into him and his vehicle. The victim jumped out when the truck approached him and fired about 10 shots at the truck. Roecker, who was naked, jumped out the window of his truck before fleeing.

A short time later, deputies said Roecker stole a nearby vehicle before engaging in a chase with Indiana State Police. Roecker was eventually captured in Sullivan County and taken to a hospital for treatment, including gunshot wounds.

Roecker was charged with attempted murder, carjacking, criminal recklessness and resisting law enforcement.

The victim told WTWO that he is currently recovering from his injuries.
