The development came months after a jury convicted him of murder, attempted murder, and carrying a handgun without a license in April 2022.

Lamar's girlfriend had told police that Lamar was driving a GMC Sierra in the Indianapolis area when he pulled over on I-465 and yelled at her for talking too much to his friend.

Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears described the killing as "senseless," according to Fox59.

"Ms. Sims tragically lost her life while she was sleeping as a result of the defendant's choice to escalate a minor dispute with a firearm," Mears said.
