Court documents reveal that an ex-husband with a history of abuse followed the mother of his three children from her work to a gas station where he “completely emptied” his gun into her van while she was parked at a gas pump.
Kaylah Farmer, 33, sitting dead in the driver’s seat of her maroon Town and Country van when police arrived at the Speedway gas station in Fishers on June 28. An autopsy later revealed she was shot 15 times.
Joshua Alexander Farmer, 32, was arrested the next day after he was found hiding behind some shrubs in Indy’s near east side.
Court documents reveal that the deadly shooting wasn’t the first instance of violence in the Farmer’s relationship. On June 1, Noblesville police investigated a battery reported against Joshua Farmer.
According to the report, Joshua Farmer was accused of punching and choking Kaylah in front of their three children on May 21. While battering Kaylah and ripping off her clothes, Joshua reportedly told her that “she was going to learn today.”
Joshua then is accused of pointing a gun at both Kaylah and their oldest child and asking her to choose between his life or their child’s, according to the report.
An arrest warrant was issued for Joshua Farmer on June 5, 23 days before the deadly shooting, on charges related to the battery accusations. Noblesville police said officers were actively searching for Joshua Farmer but said he had been evading law enforcement.
Security footage and eyewitness accounts detailed the deadly shooting at the Speedway gas station that involved dozens of bullets being fired from an orange/maroon Kia Soul into the Town and Country van, court documents show.
Investigators said the Kia Soul can be seen driving around the van and stopping multiple times to fire upon the van, which was parked at a gas pump, from three different angles.

“He completely emptied it,” the witness said.
The witness attempted to render aid to the victim after the shooting but said Kaylah was not responsive.
In another call made soon after the shooting, Joshua Farmer reportedly told a woman he’d been dating that he “took care of it” in relation to his ex-wife Kaylah. He also reportedly admitted to seeing Kaylah at a gas station near 116th and Allisonville.
When asked what he meant by it being “taken care of”, Joshua Farmer reportedly told her, “We don’t need to get into that.”
Joshua Farmer is being held on no bond in Hamilton County Jail. He faces one count of murder along with felony charges of stalking and criminal recklessness.
