Episode Details

Rakeem Thompson just received a 60-year sentence for murdering his girlfriend, Brittany Burns, in a brutal attack on Indianapolis’s near east side in October 2020. After a three-day trial, he was convicted of homicide following a harrowing case where he initially called 911 claiming she was gasping for air — but a neighbor later testified he was seen punching her. She died 10 days later, and the coroner confirmed blunt force and asphyxial trauma. Police didn’t identify him as the suspect until May 2024, making this conviction a chilling reminder of intimate partner violence’s devastating toll.
