Man found guilty of murder in 2015 case

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – An Indianapolis man has been found guilty of murder, carrying a handgun without a license and possession of marijuana in a 2015 case.

William Smith, 32, of Indianapolis, was standing trial for an incident that occurred on Feb. 11, 2015.

Smith showed up to the Indianapolis City-County Building (CCB) with a critically wounded Azya Knowles in the passenger seat.

Detectives discovered the truck had been riddled with bullets. Smith told police someone fired shots at him and Knowles as they sat in the truck, after which, he drove to the CCB to get help.

Knowles later died from her injures at a local hospital.

After processing the scene, police believe the damage to the pickup truck was caused by Smith and charged him with Knowles murder.

Smith will be sentenced on March 4.
