23-year-old felon sentenced to 38 years for Anderson shooting spree

ANDERSON, Ind. (WISH) — A 23-year-old felon will return to prison after he was sentenced in connection to a shooting spree that injured a youth, the Madison County chief deputy prosecutor said in a news release issued Wednesday.

Love had pleaded guilty in February to 10 felonies — including aggravated battery, criminal recklessness, and unlawful firearm possession — in connection to January 2025 shooting spree, which happened a day after he was released from prison for a prior violent offense.

Love had been released from the Miami Correctional Facility near Bunker Hill on parole at 11 a.m. Jan. 13, 2025. Online prison records show he’d been prosecuted in November 2023 on low-level felony charges of battery and criminal recklessness in Madison County.

Hours later, investigators learned, he messaged another person to buy a handgun. By the following evening, he began a series of three separate shooting incidents across Anderson.

The first shooting happened about 8:15 p.m. Jan. 14, 2025, on 38th Street. Love fired at least eight rounds from a handgun at a passing vehicle occupied by two youth who were unknown to him. One of them, a boy, was struck in the abdomen and taken to a hospital, and he made a full recovery.
