IMPD arrested 33-year-old Justin Turner for his alleged role in the shooting. He is charged with murder, robbery and possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon.

Leading up to the shooting, Flynn was working his normal shift at Papa Johns. He was set to deliver a pizza to a house near Priscilla Avenue.
