During the ensuing melée on Dec. 9, 2023, Gray, now 24, shot and killed Keelin Woods, 26. He stood trial this week in Allen Superior Court for murder, attempted murder and using a firearm in the commission of a crime. The jury, after about three hours of deliberation, found him not guilty. They agreed he acted in self defense. 

Flowers appealed to Keirns to place him in the JCAP program, an in-jail recovery program that has had success, but Keirns said the jail was full and basically, it was time for the state to pick up some of Flowers’ incarceration costs.
