INDIANAPOLIS — Anthony York will spend 30 years in prison for the deadly shooting of an 18-year-old girl on Jan. 16, 2022.
Da'Tara Johnson was shot at 4128 Creek Way in the Stone Lake apartment complex, just off the Interstate 465 and I-65 interchange on the south side of Indianapolis. She died at Eskenazi Hospital two hours later.
IMPD homicide detectives were able to identify York, who was Johnson's boyfriend, as the suspect in the shooting.
York was wanted on two warrants in Marion County issued in August 2021 for auto theft, resisting law enforcement and criminal recklessness.
IMPD coordinated with the U.S. Marshals Service and learned York was staying in the Phoenix, Arizona area.
IMPD homicide detectives traveled to Phoenix and worked with Phoenix Police and the U.S. marshals to eventually arrest York on Feb. 10, 2022.
The Marion County Prosecutor's Office charged York with murder and carrying a handgun without a license.
York took a deal and pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter. He was sentenced to 30 years, but he can get that sentence modified once he serves 17.5 years.
