INDIANAPOLIS AP – Investigators found no physical evidence linking a 31-year-old man to the 2006 slayings of seven family members in their home, but statements the man made before the attack and his actions afterward prove he fired the fatal gunshots, a prosecutor said Monday.

Desmond Turner told others he planned to “hit a lick,” – slang for commit a robbery – before the June 1, 2006, attack that left four adults and three children dead in their home, Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi said during his opening statements in Turner’s murder trial.
