EVANSVILLE – After being found guilty in 2020, then getting a new trial, and then getting that ruling overturned, an Evansville man has finally received his sentence for murder and attempted murder.

Elijah I. Parchman, 24, was sentenced to 51 years in prison on Thursday after police say he shot two men in 2019, the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor's Office said in a news release.

Bobby Minor, 32, died from his injuries. Ikeem Minor, then 26, was also shot but survived.

Parchman was initially found guilty of murder and attempted murder after a two-day trial in November 2020. But four months later, in March 2021, Vanderburgh Circuit Court Judge David Kiely granted Parchman another trial, claiming "the defendant denied a fair trial due to the State's failure to provide impeachment evidence."

Witness impeachment is when attorneys present evidence to call a witness' credibility into question.

The witness in question was Ikeem Minor. According to Kiely, prosecutors failed to disclose Minor's entire criminal history. They provided his adult record, but not his juvenile.

"This court finds that there is a reasonable probability the outcome of the trial would have been different had the state provided the defendant with the undisclosed impeachment evidence," Kiely wrote at the time.

The Indiana Court of Appeals overturned that decision in January, clearing the way for Parchman's sentencing on Thursday, when Kiely himself handed down the sentence.

According to a probable cause affidavit filed in the case, the shooting happened in two parking lots connected by an alley in the 600 blocks of East Virginia and East Iowa streets on April 5, 2019. The people involved did not appear to know each other before that night.

Parchman saw the two men walking toward him and felt "threatened," so he shot them, he reportedly told police. Witnesses told police they overheard an argument between the three men.

After the shooting, he called 911 and identified himself as the shooter. Police then met Parchman at an Iowa Street apartment. Parchman allegedly told police that after the shooting, he returned home and placed the gun on the counter with his ID.

The sentencing hadn't been entered into court records as of Friday morning.
