INDIANAPOLIS — A man has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for a fatal shooting that occurred in 2021.
The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office announced that Corey Mirabal, 23, will serve 50 years in the Indiana Department of Correction for fatally shooting Kane Baca, 24, in July 2021.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to an apartment in the 5900 block of Coquina Key Drive on reports of a person shot at 5 a.m.
Upon arrival, officers located Baca in the parking lot suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
According to IMPD, Baca was able to speak with officers before his passing. He indicated that Mirabal was the one who shot him.
Police say the victim’s girlfriend stated they were in her apartment when Mirabal arrived at the front door. When the two men went outside to talk, multiple shots were fired.
