INDIANAPOLIS — A man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after he pleaded guilty in a 2019 crash that killed two 23-year-olds in Indianapolis.
Dataniel Gilbert pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of failure to remain at the scene of an accident resulting in death, both Level 3 felonies, according to online court records.
