INDIANAPOLIS — A man was sentenced to 55 years in prison for a 2021 deadly shooting at a gas station on the city's east side.
A jury convicted Kelyn Harris on two counts of murder after a two-day trial in July.
On May 21, 2021, police responded to a report of a person shot at the Phillips 66 gas station in the 3800 block of North Mitthoeffer Road, near 38th Street, around 8:15 p.m.
(NOTE: The video above is from a previous report on the shooting.)
After arriving on scene, police found two people who had been shot. Police said one of the victims was taken to a hospital in critical condition but later died from his injuries. The other victim was "awake and breathing" at the scene, police said, but also died at a hospital.
The victims were later identified as Frederick Small and Ezekiel Watkins.
The Marion County Prosecutor's Office said security cameras showed Harris and another man, later identified as William Glasper III, standing in line at the gas station. Then, the footage showed Small and Watkins enter the gas station and Harris started shooting them.
In March, Glasper pleaded guilty to assisting a criminal and carrying a handgun without a license.
