INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis man was sentenced to 107 years for a 2020 shooting that killed his aunt and seriously injured his cousin, the Marion County Prosecutor's Office announced Wednesday.
In April, Steven Boykin was convicted of murder, attempted murder, aggravated battery, robbery resulting in serious bodily injury and killing of a domestic animal.
Early on Nov. 1, 2020, IMPD officers responded to a gas station on East 42nd Street for reports of a person shot. Police located a victim who had been shot multiple times in the chest who identified Boykin — his cousin — as the shooter and said his mother may be in danger.
The victim was transported to a local hospital and eventually recovered from serious injuries.
Officers determined the victim was shot at a home nearby and jumped out of a window to the gas station for help. At the home near East 30th Place, officers heard multiple gunshots from inside, and SWAT officers responded to the scene.
Boykin was taken into custody after a short time. Police later found the victim's mother, Mia Harrison, and the family dog dead inside the home from gunshot wounds.
Investigators matched the fired cartridge casings to the gun found on Boykin when he was arrested, the prosecutor's office said.
