Rakeem Thompson (Source: Marion County Jail)INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis man is getting six decades behind bars for killing his girlfriend six years ago. His jury trial ended in April after three days, leading to his conviction in the death of his girlfriend, Brittany Burns, in 2020. On Oct. 9, 2020, officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department responded to a home on English Avenue. Thompson had called 911 that night saying that he believed his girlfriend had “passed away” after she was “gasping for air.” Burns’ death was ruled a homicide by the Marion County Coroner’s Office after an autopsy determined that she died from asphyxia and blunt force injuries.
