INDIANAPOLIS — The man arrested in the Saturday fatal shootings of a 7-year-old girl and three relatives admitted to police that he killed them and that he took the money, purse and car of his child’s mother before trying to get out of town, court documents obtained Tuesday by News 8 reveal.
Mailk Halfacre, 25, faces preliminary charges of murder, attempted murder and robbery. He remained in the Marion County Jail, and no formal charges were listed in online court records on Tuesday.
Officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department were initially called to the intersection of New York and Randolph streets around 8:15 p.m. Saturday where they found a woman identified to News 8 by family as Jeanettrius Moore. She had been shot and was taken to a hospital, where she told police more victims were in a home on Randolph.
