Jury finds 48-year-old guilty in hit-and-run death of 90-year-old
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A 48-year-old Indianapolis man was found guilty Friday for his role in a May hit-and-run that killed a 90-year-old woman, Marion County prosecutors said in a tweet.
A jury found Maurice Webster guilty of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and operating a vehicle while on a controlled substance, online court records show. A charge of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated was dropped as a result of the jury trial. Webster also was initially charged with driving while suspended, but that charge was dropped before the jury trial.
Webster turned himself in to police the day after he struck and killed Marion Jones on the night of May 13 on North Illinois Street near East 24th Street.
Webster’s sentencing was set for Dec. 19 in Marion Superior Court, Criminal Division 3.
