The driver of a stolen flatbed truck was met with gunfire when he was spotted by an Indianapolis man who said he was the owner, court documents said.

Police said Steven Roe, 32, was in another truck looking for the vehicle on Dec. 31 when he found it on the near west side, according to a probable-cause affidavit. Roe then jumped out of the vehicle and yelled, "Hey, that's my truck," the affidavit states.

Police later found the driver, 35-year-old Steven Wooden, unresponsive inside the driver's seat of the running truck. Gunshots had pierced through the front windshield and the driver's side of the vehicle, according to the affidavit. Medics took Wooden to Eskenazi Hospital with multiple gunshot wounds, where he later died, according to Indianapolis Metropolitan Police.

When an officer at the scene asked who the shooter was, Roe allegedly said "I am," while still holding the gun, the affidavit stated.

On Thursday, Roe was charged with murder in Wooden's death, court records show.

A witness told police that he was with Roe when they were looking for the stolen Ford F-650. They were near the intersection of Miller and Hiatt streets when Roe saw the truck, according to court documents.

Wooden reportedly put his hands up after Roe yelled at him, the witness told investigators. Police believe that's when Roe shot into the vehicle, according to the affidavit. The truck then crashed into a parked car on Hiatt Street, the affidavit states.

Police said Roe stayed at the scene and cooperated with investigators.

A search of the Ford truck found the ignition had been "compromised" in a manner consistent with stealing a vehicle, but it didn't find any evidence of weapons inside the truck, the affidavit states.

Records show Roe remained held in Marion County Jail as of Thursday afternoon. He's due in court on Friday.
