A dice game in an Indianapolis home turned deadly in the early hours of November 9, 2015, when an argument escalated into a robbery and multiple people were shot. Twenty-four-year-old Jonte Johnson and another man, Thomas Stewart, were killed. Two other players were shot and critically injured.

Three men named Dontae Shields, David Sanders, and Clarence Sanders were identified by investigators as the participants who became angry, produced firearms, and robbed the other players, taking money from the game. All three were charged with two counts of felony murder, robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, and attempted robbery resulting in serious bodily injury; Shields and David Sanders were also charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious felon. Shields was taken into custody shortly after charges were filed, and David Sanders was later tried and convicted by a jury on two counts of felony murder in the deaths of Johnson and Stewart.

Does anyone have additional information about the trial and sentencing in this case or memories of the neighborhood that night?
