SEARCY, Ark. (KTHV) - A man wanted in a shooting in Searcy is caught in Indiana.

The White County Sheriff's Office says Lee Allen is wanted in the shooting of Perry Neal, 25, on June 27.

Deputies were called out to a home on Oak Forrest Road outside Searcy about a shooting. The victim, Neal, had been taken to the hospital in a personal vehicle with a gunshot wound to his abdomen.

The Sheriff's Office says Neal was in the back of the house when a young woman known as "13" came inside saying someone wanted to talk to him. When Neal entered the front room of the house, deputies say he was approached by Allen. The two scuffled before Allen allegedly shot Neal.

Deputies say both Allen and "13" left the house in a white Chevy Monte Carlo.

Allen was caught Thursday morning in Indiana.
