INDIANAPOLIS MAN INDICTED ON ROBBERY CHARGES: Donnell E. Gilder, 22, faces 22 counts of robbery, brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.
According to the indictment, Gilder robbed 10 Speedway Gas Stations and a Marsh Supermarket on the Northeast side of Indianapolis between February 29, 2016, and April 27, 2016. On two occasions, he discharged a handgun during the robbery.
Gilder’s alleged crimes took a deadly turn on April 27, 2016, when he approached the Speedway gas station located at 5900 E 71st Street. The clerk, who was outside the building on a break, saw Gilder approach dressed in all black. She quickly ran back into the store and locked the front door. Gilder is alleged to have fired a handgun at the door, shattering the glass and narrowly missing the clerk.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives investigated the case, which is an example of their renewed focus on targeting those individuals committing violent crime in Indianapolis, said Chief Troy Riggs.
Gilder faces a minimum of 260 years in prison if convicted of all charges, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey D. Preston.
An indictment is only a charge and not evidence of guilt. All parties are presumed innocent until proved guilty in federal court.
