INDIANAPOLIS — A judge sentenced an Indianapolis man to 63 years in the Indiana Department of Correction for a deadly shooting on the northwest side of Indianapolis in 2020.
After a three-day trial in April, jurors found Ivy Nunn guilty of murder.
"This case illustrates the efficiency of the investigative process when multiple agencies collaborate for the safety and betterment of our communities, and the result is justice for Mr. Morris and his family," Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said following the sentencing hearing.
Around 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 27, 2020, IMPD officers responded to a report of a body found on Guion Road near 38th Street.
Police arrived and found the body of a man, later identified as 37-year-old Daniel Morris Jr. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene.
The coroner's office determined Morris died after being shot multiple times in the chest and pelvis.
According to the Marion County Prosecutor's Office, family members were last in contact with Morris on the morning of Aug. 21, 2020, while he was at an apartment in the 6100 block of Beachview Drive, near 10th Street and Interstate 465.
The prosecutor's office said detectives got video footage from the morning of Aug. 21, which allegedly showed three people arrive to the apartment around 2:30 a.m. Shortly after, detectives said two men were seen carrying another man's body and placing the body in a vehicle.
On Sept. 11, 2020, U.S. Marshals located Nunn in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and arrested him for murder.
According to the prosecutor's office, Nunn had been in communication with Morris' wife the days before and after Morris' murder, and Nunn allegedly threatened her regarding his behavior.
