Court docs allege Killough knew he struck someone in fatal hit-and-run of child before fleeing home

Court documents allege that John Killough Jr. knew he struck a person with his truck before purposefully fleeing from the scene and returning to his home where he gathered his belongings and went on the run the following day. The Dec. 11 hit-and-run resulted in the death of 11-year-old Kyson Beatty. Killough was arrested by police a week after the fatal collision thanks to an Indianapolis couple who had let Killough stay at their home before realizing he was wanted in connection with Beatty’s death and turned him in to police.
