INDIANAPOLIS — Damarion Moore was sentenced to 116 years in prison for a double homicide that happened on the city's west side in 2020, the Marion County Prosecutor's Office announced Friday.
Moore was convicted of killing Chrishaun Snelling and Shaughnje Scott.
On Jan. 8, 2020, police were called to an apartment complex on Hardin Boulevard, near Interstate 465 and West Washington Street. Witnesses said Snelling had received a call to step outside of the apartment before being shot. An investigation found that call came from Moore's phone.
Hours later, police in Illinois notified IMPD they received a tip that Moore told his family members he had killed his girlfriend in Indianapolis.
Officer went to Scott's home on Jan. 9 and found her shot to death. Text messages on her phone from Moore threatened he would kill any man she chose over him.
Police said Scott and Snelling lived near each other and were friends on Facebook. Police found no other connection between the two.
Spent rounds recovered at the crime scene were found to have been fired from the gun Moore had on him when he was arrested in Illinois.
