A Plainfield man has been sentenced to 55 years in prison for the 2019 shooting death of a Muslim man following a road rage incident on the west side of Indianapolis. The suspect shouted religious and ethnic insults at the victim before killing him.
Dustin Passarelli was convicted of Murder and the Felony Firearm Enhancement after a three-day trial in May for the death of 33-year-old Mustafa Ayoubi.
