INDIANAPOLIS — A judge sentenced a man Friday for killing another man in 2018 at a bar on Indianapolis' east side.
A jury found Derek Whitt guilty of voluntary in May for the Aug. 25, 2018 shooting death of David Ballinger. On Friday, June 4, a judge sentenced Whitt to 20 years in prison.
Video footage from the bar on English Avenue near South Sherman Drive showed Whitt's then-fiancée in an argument with David Ballinger. Whitt came to the bar later in the evening and started fighting with Ballinger. Whitt then pulled a gun and shot Ballinger in the chest. Whitt stayed at the bar until police arrived.
