Malik Rashaad Perry, 19, was shot and killed in Indianapolis on Tuesday, October 13, 2015. Known as Mook, he was a former Northwest High School student and a father. Court documents say Perry took part in a pharmacy robbery with Dayonta McClinton and others; after the theft the group drove to an alley to divide the stolen pharmaceuticals. An argument broke out when Perry reportedly left the vehicle with all the drugs and McClinton followed and shot him four times in the back, killing him.

McClinton was tried on charges that included robbery and causing Perry’s death; a jury found him not guilty of those specific charges. Later, at sentencing for other robbery-related convictions, a federal judge applying the preponderance of the evidence standard concluded McClinton was responsible for Perry’s murder and treated the killing as relevant conduct in calculating the sentence. Was anyone in the group willing to talk about what happened in that alley or the events leading up to the robbery?
