Dad charged in 2 year old's murder

NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (WISH) - The father of a boy stabbed to death in Noblesville Wednesday night was formally charged with murder Thursday, and had thought earlier that day that someone was trying to kill him.

Court documents reveal Micah Harrison attacked a utility closet with a hammer on Wednesday, saying someone was trying to kill him. A woman in the Noblesville apartment with him took the hammer from him, hid it, and told him there was no one there.

Later that day, the same woman found Harrison on top of his 2-year-old son, stabbing him with a kitchen knife, according to court documents. The woman, 2-year-old Michael Harrison’s grandmother, took the knife from Micah Harrison and told him he had just killed his son.

When police arrived to the apartment Wednesday night, they first encountered Micah Harrison, whose hands were blood-covered, according to the probable cause affidavit.

The young boy had wounds to his chest and head, and one of the wounds may have been inflicted using a nail puller.

Micah Harrison’s two other children were with him in Noblesville, but the children’s mother stayed behind in Alabama.

Police urge anyone who may have had contact with Micah Harrison leading up to his son’s death contact them at 317-776-6340. He has an initial court appearance scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
