2014 was a tough year for Fishers.  Murder is a crime rarely seen in this family-oriented suburban community, but 2014 was a year in which police investigated 2 murder cases. One of those cases had the legal books closed on it today…the other is scheduled for trial this summer.

Maxwell Winkler was 17 when the murder of Henry Kim happened near Windermere Park in the Geist area of Fishers.  Winkler was arrested a few days later in Mr. Kim’s death, during November of 2014.  Winkler entered into a plea bargain with prosecutors, pleading guilty but mentally ill, and was sentenced today (2/5) to 80 years in prison in connection with Kim’s death.

The second murder case that year related to an incident in June.  Connor Shockley, 18, and Corbin Montgomery, also 18, were in a fight over a girl and a cell phone, according to probable cause affidavits.  Both were Fishers residents and the incident happened in Fishers.  Shockley died from stab wounds.  Mongomery is charged with murder.  His trial is scheduled to begin on June 6 of this year.
