Derice Wilson was found guilty of murder in the death of Michael Simmons last month. It took the jury 45 minutes to reach a verdict.
INDIANAPOLIS — An Indiana man was sentenced to 68 years in prison for killing an 18-year-old in Aug. 2021.
On Aug. 10, 2021, IMPD officers responded to a gas station on the city’s west side on reports of a person shot. Upon arrival, officers located Simmons suffering from a gunshot wound to his head inside a vehicle. He was pronounced deceased a day later. During the investigation, detectives obtained security footage from the gas station that captured the shooting.
Wilson can be seen on video exiting a vehicle and walking over to Simmons’ vehicle. The two are seen talking, and Wilson fires shots at him. Wilson then returned to his vehicle and fled the scene.“This case demonstrates the importance of the relationships between law enforcement, our office, and the community,” Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said.
