INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A 45-year-old Indianapolis man was sentenced Monday to 110 years in prison for a double murder in 2023.

Shawn Barnett, 23, and Larry Moorman, 42, died shortly before noon Jan. 12, 2023, at the scene of a shooting in the 200 block of Walcott Street. That is in a downtown residential area near the intersection of East Ohio Street and North Walcott Street.

Jermaine Randle, 45, was sentenced after a jury found him guilty of two counts of murder on April 2 in Marion Superior Court 7.

Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears, a Democrat, wrote in a news release issued Monday, “The defendant will spend more than a century behind bars for the unprovoked tragedy he inflicted on these men and their families. Our witnesses’ commitment to Larry and Shawn to see this through was the difference maker in this case.”

A witness at the scene immediately identified Randle as the suspect and described the vehicle he was driving. According to the witness, shouting could be heard from an apartment followed by several gunshots, and a man was seen fleeing down the steps before Randle’s vehicle pulled away. Other witnesses corroborated the identification of the vehicle Randle used to arrive at and flee the scene. Officers used license plate-reading cameras to find Randle’s vehicle just hours after the shooting near West 79th Street and North Michigan Road, leading to the arrest of Randle.

When NFL teams are mapping out their upcoming season, they break their schedule into sections, and while teams approach every game one week at a time, not every section is necessarily built the same.

The Indianapolis Colts are hoping to get off the schneid and make the playoffs again for the first time since 2020 — there may be jobs depending on it after all. The Colts have their first two games of the season at home, but it’s in the second quarter of the season where they could really find their groove.

John Breech of CBS Sports recently identified one good thing about each team’s schedule, and he honed in on a particular four-week stretch for the Colts.

“Starting in Week 5, the Colts will get three home games in a four-week stretch against teams that finished under .500 last year,” Breech wrote. “One team will have a new coach (Raiders), one team (Cardinals) has gone a combined 4-13 on the road over the past two seasons, and one team will have a new quarterback (Titans).”

The Las Vegas Raiders may be a tougher matchup than in years past after adding Geno Smith and Ashton Jeanty on offense, but that defense still has some major question marks.

The Arizona Cardinals offer Colts head coach Shane Steichen an interesting battle in which he goes up against his former defensive counterpart from the Philadelphia Eagles, in Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon. The two used to go head-to-head every day in practice, but now, for the first time, as head coaches. Arizona added Josh Sweat and Walter Nolen up front this offseason, which should make Gannon’s defense even more challenging.

The Los Angeles Chargers are a reigning playoff team, so this is definitely a tough break in the “ease” of the stretch, especially going across the country for it. Led by head coach Jim Harbaugh and star quarterback Justin Herbert, it’s actually the Chargers’ run game that might be most dangerous after adding Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris in the backfield, and Mekhi Becton up front this offseason.

The Colts swept the division rival Tennessee Titans in each of the last two years, but surely, that will come to an end at some point. The Titans might finally have a quarterback worth building around after selecting Cam Ward with the first pick in the draft. However, there’s still a lot of work to do, with major questions all over the roster.

Following this “easier” stretch that Breech identified, it gets much tougher for the Colts.

The Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9 begin an interesting stretch, featuring more than a month away from Lucas Oil Stadium for the Colts. They get to “host” the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin, Germany, in Week 10, they have their bye in Week 11, and then they’re on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11.

The Colts’ season kicks off in Week 1 at home against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, September 7 at 1:00 p.m. E.T.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Motor Speedway hosted an enlistment ceremony Sunday as part of the festivities leading up to the Indy 500, which is just one week away.

The enlistment ceremony honors men and women joining the armed forces, including all branches such as the Coast Guard and Space Force. This tradition was started by Senator Lugar in the 1970s and serves as a tribute to those who serve and have sacrificed for the country.

180 Hoosiers from across the state took the oath to enlist in the Military. 

Indiana National Guard enlistees are from: Beech Grove, Clinton, Crawfordsville, Fort Wayne, Frankfort, Indianapolis, Lafayette, Lebanon, Lizton, Logansport, Monticello, Peru, Romney, Spencerville and Stilesville. 

“For us, it’s just a great way to say thank you so much for taking that oath and for taking that step to defend our country,” IMS and NTT IndyCar President Doug Boles said.

Doug Boles highlighted the historical connection between the Speedway and the military, noting that the Speedway was an Army base during World War I where planes were repaired and pilots trained.
