Indianapolis home blast suspect sought hitman to kill witness: prosecutor Mar 28th 2013, 15:08 INDIANAPOLIS | Thu Mar 28, 2013 11:08am EDT INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) - A man already charged with murder in the Indianapolis home explosion that killed two of his neighbors in November has been charged with trying to hire a hitman to kill a witness in the case, prosecutors said on Thursday. Mark Leonard, who lived in the home with Monserrate Shirley, was charged with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry told a news conference. Leonard, who has been in jail since December, offered to pay a man who turned out to be an undercover agent $15,000 to kill a witness with an additional $5,000 if he made it look like a suicide, Curry said. Leonard, Shirley and Leonard's brother, Bob Leonard Jr., were charged in December with felony murder and multiple counts of arson for allegedly setting up the explosion.
