The man convicted in the deadly shooting of his exgirlfriend outside a west Indianapolis day care on Sept. 16, 2022, has just been sentenced to 66 years.

A few weeks before the sentencing, a jury found Orlando Mitchell guilty of murder and invasion of privacy, violating a protective order.

Krystal Walton had just dropped off her then1yearold son when she was shot and killed outside the Charity Child Care at 10th Street and Holmes Avenue. Mitchell is the childs father, and Walton had a protective order against Mitchell.

Today, we are grateful to the jury for returning this verdict, and although Krystal is no longer here, her family and children will carry on in her memory with the same resilience and grace as Krystal, as such a loving mother would have wanted them to, Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said in a statement following the guilty verdict.

Kevin Bacons nearly 50year acting career is highlighted by his illustrious filmography, including Footloose, Apollo 13, Mystic River, The River Wild and many more.

On the TV side, Bacons most notable roles are in The Following, City on a Hill and now The Bondsman.

Prime Videos action horror series follows murdered bounty hunter Hub Halloran (Bacon), who is resurrected by the devil to trap and send back demons that have escaped from hell.

We wanted to create a laugh out loud, scream out loud mashup. Just an escapist roller coaster ride where youve got family dramedy, you got horror, but youve got Kevin Bacon putting chainsaws through demons faces. All of that set against country music, said showrunner and executive producer Erik Oleson (Daredevil, Carnival Row).

All eight episodes of The Bondsman are released April 3 on Prime Video.
