Teenagers Convicted in Targeted Murder | Indianapolis News

Two teens, one just 15, were convicted in the February 2025 murder of 26-year-old Dayla Swain outside Sonny Ray’s bar — a targeted killing meant to silence her cousin, O’Terryon Johnson, who was set to testify against gang-linked Donovan Harris. Digital evidence, including social media messages, revealed the teens plotting, surveilling, and arming themselves before the fatal shooting at 3 a.m., followed by a hit-and-run that killed Swain. The 15-year-old shooter, “Lil D,” had an active armed robbery warrant; his 14-year-old co-defendant, Jo’Majze Larry, vanished the day after the crime. The jury’s verdict doesn’t close the book — authorities are still digging into the wider gang ties and unanswered questions. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
