“Eli was just a passenger riding home after a long shift at work when he was killed,” said Prosecutor Mears. “Last night, a Marion County jury took a stand against the road rage violence that we continue to see more frequently on our roadways. It should serve as a reminder not to act impulsively but to address conflicts safely with a clear and level head.”
Kimbrough was determined to be the shooter after interviews with employees of the concrete business.
At the time of the crime, Kimbrough was on GPS monitoring. His ankle monitor placed his on I-70 near Post Road at the time of the shooting, according to court documents.
