Man receives 70-year sentence for 2022 murder in Indianapolis


INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A man has been sentenced to 70 years in prison after his conviction in a 2022 fatal shooting on the city’s east side, according to the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office.

Cashmenn Moore in January was found guilty of murder for the 2022 shooting death of Clarence Holder lll after a three-day trial.

At 2 a.m. Nov. 30, 2022, an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer received a report of a person down in the 600 block of Woods Crossing Drive. That’s in the English Crossing housing addition off English Avenue just west of I-465.

IMPD detectives arrived on scene and spoke with the initial 911 caller, who stated that he was driving home when he noticed a body lying in the street. Detectives also spoke with nearby neighbors, who stated that they called 911 around midnight to report shots fired.

Investigators found 9mm shell casings and Holder’s cellphone at the crime scene.

While searching the phone, detectives discovered several messages between Holder and another person via Facebook Messenger. They also discovered a CashApp link was sent to Holder so he could pay the person. After running the phone number through the CashApp account, detectives learned that the account belonged to Moore.

Investigators were also retrieved video footage from a neighbor that captured a vehicle travel and stop near where Holder’s body was found.

On Dec. 19, 2022, the IMPD violent crimes unit detectives began surveillance on Moore. Detectives saw him get into a vehicle matching the one captured by the neighbor’s home surveillance near the crime scene. As the detectives attempted to initiate a traffic stop, Moore fled, speeding through a yard before crashing into an IndyGo bus. After the pursuit, detectives searched the path where Moore fled and recovered a 9mm firearm.

The Crime Lab matched the firearm to the shell casings collected from the crime scene and the bullet that was recovered from Holder’s body.

4 men convicted in Hancock County home invasion case


GREENFIELD, Ind. (WISH) — A Hancock County jury has found four men guilty of burglary with a deadly weapon and conspiracy to commit burglary in a home invasion in May 2024.

Brione Jackson, 41, and Darrion Riddle, 30, both of Indianapolis, and Lajuan Lee, 41, and Raynard Perry, 31, both of Gary, were convicted Friday for their roles in a May 2024 home invasion where a gunshot was fired, according to a news release issued Tuesday from the Hancock County Prosecutor’s Office, online court records, and online jail records.

Jackson and Lee were also found to be habitual offenders, a status that can add to their incarceration, the release said.

Deputies in May 2024 responded to a report of a residential burglary involving a gunshot, the release said, without giving the location of the home.

Online news reports say the burglary happened around 4 a.m. May 5, 2024, at a home on North County Road 300 West, which is in western Hancock County.

Upon arrival at the home, officers found the back entry door open and discovered three people hiding in a master bedroom closet. Two children who had been asleep in a bonus room during the break-in were escorted from the home without injury.

The growling of the homeowners’ dog had awakened them before they noticed shadows in the hallway. One person confronted the intruders, who wore masks to hide their identities. A physical struggle followed and a gunshot was fired before the suspects fled. One person who confronted the men sustained a minor scratch and bleeding.

The prosecutor’s office news release said investigators with the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office spent several months executing dozens of search warrants to identify the four men and gather evidence, and criminal charges were filed in December 2024. All four men were taken into custody shortly after the charges were filed and have remained in jail since that time.

Sentencing from Hancock Superior Court 1 for Jackson, Lee, Perry and Riddle is scheduled for April 17, the release said.
