Two men charged with the murder of Anthony Dean in late 2015 pleaded guilty to lesser charges Friday in Marion County Superior Court.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Davon Grady, 21, and Davon Keeylen, 19, were accused in the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Dean on Nov. 7, 2015, in the parking lot of the Burger King near 38th and Illinois streets.
At the time, homicide detectives said multiple shots were fired from two vehicles seen in the area prior to Dean's death. They said they didn't believe it was a random act.
Grady and Keeylen were eventually arrested and charged with murder, robbery and aggravated battery in the case.
