INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis man was sentenced to 13 years in prison and five years on supervised release after he pleaded guilty to two counts of firearm possession by a convicted felon (Level 4 Felonies) and one count of distribution of methamphetamine (Level 5 Felony), the U.S. Department of Justice announced on Saturday. According to the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Indiana, Shelby County Sheriff's deputies saw 26-year-old Marvin T. Golden Jr. sell 55 grams of meth on Oct. 26, 2022. Per court documents, Golden's children were sitting in the back of his car during the transaction A 2023 booking photo of Marvin Golden Court docs also indicate that Golden sold another 20 grams of methamphetamine and a gram of fentanyl in Shelby County just eight days later. In addition, the DOJ reported that one of Golden's charges stemmed from the shooting death of Anthony Shelman. On March 25, 2023, Shelman was driving east on Interstate 70 with a passenger in his vehicle. Multiple rounds were fired at Shelman's vehicle as he approached the Emerson Avenue exit, the DOJ reported. Shelman was shot in the chest and killed during the incident. Shelman's passenger was also shot in the hand. According to the DOJ, Shelman's vehicle then crashed into a light pole located near I-70's exit for Emerson Avenue. Two other cars fled the scene at high speeds after the shooting. Following an investigation from the Indiana State Police, troopers discovered that Shelman and his passenger — alongside Golden and another individual — were all at Sunset Strip Club in Indianapolis right before the shooting.

Golden and the other person then followed Shelman for more than 10 minutes in their respective vehicles. Per the DOJ, the shooting took place sometime after Golden and his passenger began following Shelman. Video footage also shows Golden extensively cleaning his car in the pouring rain at 7 a.m. that same morning. Police then underwent a court-authorized search of Golden's home on May 3, 2023, the DOJ reported. This led them to seize a .40 caliber Glock 27 handgun, previously owned by one of Golden's relatives. DNA testing revealed this gun to be the one that was used to kill Shelman. Police also found Golden's DNA on the gun when they analyzed it. Thus, Golden's sentence was enhanced because he possessed the weapon that was used to kill Shelman.

According to the DOJ, they also seized a loaded Glock 9mm handgun from Golden's person at this time. The DOJ noted that unsealed court records showed Golden had previous ties to a street gang called the Mob. When Golden was 17, he was charged as a juvenile for multiple armed robberies of pharmacies, court docs indicate. Per these documents, one robbery that Golden was a part of led to two gang members getting into a dispute. One member of the gang was fatally shot in the head during the altercation. The DOJ said Golden robbed another pharmacy at gunpoint the next day. Man gets 35 years, pushed 3-year-old down stairs Golden was handed down a "time served" sentence in 2019. The DOJ stated that this is the maximum penalty for juveniles under the law. He also received one year on juvenile probation. Later, Golden was convicted of drug and gun offenses as an adult, the DOJ said. During these drug deals, Golden was considered a felon, and his possession of two firearms — one being the weapon used to kill Shelman — was illegal under federal law. “Anthony Shelman should be alive today, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his family and all who loved him,” said Zachary A. Myers, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. “Marvin [Golden] has repeatedly demonstrated that he is a violent, vicious criminal who has an utter disregard for the law. As we work to urgently reduce gun violence, investigation and federal prosecution of the most dangerous armed criminals is a top priority."
