The Vanderburgh County Coroner’s office said Austin Smith died Friday. He was shot Aug. 31, 2017. Twenty-two-year-old Travis Phelps is accused of firing several shots into Smith’s car, causing him to crash.
A woman who was in Smith’s car reportedly argued with Phelps then called Smith and asked for a ride.
Phelps has been charged with two counts of attempted murder, but WFIE-TV reported that the county prosecutor’s office said in a statement it will review his case “and take into account this new development.”
The Evansville Courier & Press reported Phelps remains jailed without bond.
