INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD says community cooperation and technology helped them arrest a murder suspect within a couple hours after the crime.
50-year-old Larry Moorman and 23-year-old Shawn Barnett were found shot to death on Thursday in an apartment building in the 200 block of N Walcott Street. A 42-year-old man has been preliminarily charged with murder.
Jermaine Randle was identified as the suspect by IMPD in February.
According to a probable cause affidavit, one victim was found in a stairway and the other was in a bathroom.
The affidavit says a witness heard someone say "you raped my wife" before the gunshots. The person he heard was later identified as the suspect.
According to the affidavit, a woman who left the crime scene with the suspect listed both of the victims as suspects in a rape against her.
Two hours after the homicide, the suspect was found with the assistance of a license plate reader and taken in for questioning.
The woman told police the suspect was "avenging" her.
