INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A statewide Blue Alert was issued Friday morning for a man accused of shooting an Orange County sheriff’s deputy.

The Indiana State Police are searching for 33-year-old Austin Schepers. He was last seen at 1 a.m. Friday in West Baden, which is 104 miles southwest of Indianapolis.

Schepers is described as being 5 feet, 7 inches tall and 150 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes. He has a tattoo of a cross under his left eye and multiple tattoos around his neck.

State police initially said he was driving a silver Pontiac Grand Prix, but a later update confirmed that the vehicle had been found abandoned in rural Orange County.

Police did not share any details about the shooting or the injured deputy.

Friday afternoon, ISP received information that Schepers was at a residence on the 1800 block of East Market Street in New Albany. Police used hostage negotiators to prevent any incidents, however Schepers was not at the residence.

Schepers is still at large and should be considered armed and dangerous. If you see him, do not approach. Instead, call the Indiana State Police Bloomington Post at 812-332-4411 or 911.
