INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis man was sentenced to 122 years in prison Wednesday for stabbing two men to death in December 2021.
A jury convicted Jamie Wells on Oct. 19 on two counts of murder for the deaths of Dominic Patton and Jamel Perry in a home on Adams Street on Dec. 15, 2021. Wells' trial lasted four days.
Police were called to the home in the 2300 block of Adams Street, near Massachusetts Avenue, and found Patton, 30, and Perry, 35, dead. An autopsy determined Patton had been stabbed more than 100 times, while Perry suffered seven to nine stab wounds.
A witness told police Wells had been staying at the house with the two victims leading up to the killings.
Additionally, police spoke to a mother of one of Wells' children. According to court documents, she claims Wells showed up at her home on Dec. 14, 2021, and there was blood on his clothing and his hands had cuts on them. She told police she bought Wells a bus ticket to Gary, Indiana, for Dec. 16, 2021.
Wells was arrested on Dec. 19, 2021, on an unrelated arrest warrant in the Chicago area. During the investigation, DNA analysis found that Wells' blood was found at the crime scene on Adams Street and on the victims' bodies.
