Hendricks County jury finds Kyle Braun guilty of trying to kill his mother
Aug 11, 2026
HENDRICKS COUNTY, Ind.–After a one-day jury trial, a Hendricks County jury found Kyle Braun guilty of attempted murder and battery by bodily waste.
Police said in April 2023, Braun stabbed his mother multiple times inside her home, leaving a knife embedded in her head. His mother ended up sur
viving.
Braun ran away from the home and was later located by officers near a wooded area by a pool house. During the investigation and treatment that followed, they say Braun also intentionally spit on an EMT.
“Kyle Braun tried to murder his own mother. He left her with a knife embedded in her head and walked away. She survived—and today, a Hendricks County jury made sure he did not walk away from justice. Violence this brutal demands accountability,” said Prosecutor Loren Delp.
Braun is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 8.
In a separate incident, Braun is also accused of assaulting a public defender named Scott Knierim.
