Indiana prosecutors in the Amanda Blackburn murder case filed a sentence enhancement Tuesday for one of the suspects allegedly involved in her killing.

The enhanced sentence was filed against Larry Taylor, 18, in relation to murder resulting in the termination of pregnancy, according to Fox 59. It will be presented to the jury in trial and if it’s applied to the sentencing, Taylor could receive an extra 6 to 20 years to his possible sentence.

The sentence enhancement is made possible under a 2008 state law which was written after a 2008 shooting of a pregnant woman whose baby didn’t survive, according to Fox 59.

Taylor and Jalen E. Watson, 21, were booked on murder charges, prosecutors said in a press conference Monday. A possible accomplice, Diano Gordon, was being held as well on an alleged parole violation. Police believe the trio robbed at least two houses before encountering Blackburn in a third house.

DNA testing pointed to one of the men charged in Blackburn's death as the person who was later recorded as using her stolen bank card, Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said.

Amanda's husband, Pastor Davey Blackburn, said in a statement Monday he was "extremely relieved" by the arrest of a suspect, but said it doesn't "undo the pain we are feeling." Blackburn said investigators have told him they have a "solidly-built case."

"We are thankful to our federal, state and local partnerships that aided in the apprehension of the suspect in this terrible and senseless crime," IMPD Chief Rick Hite said in the statement. "All victims of criminal homicides deserve closure, and as a community we must send a collective message that violence is not an option. Our detectives have worked tirelessly going days without sleep to solve murders in our city."

Detectives pieced together an account of the crime in which all three men entered the Blackburn home, which was unlocked, and confronted Amanda after Davey had left for an early morning workout, Fox 59 reported.

Authorities allege that while two of the suspects left the house to withdraw money with the pastor's ATM card, Taylor raped Amanda before shooting her. The crime took place with the couple's 15-month-old son lying in his crib upstairs.

Investigators linked the suspects to the Blackburn case through ATM receipts found in a car the three had allegedly stolen earlier this month. Crime lab technicians are also analyzing a gun that was found in the yard of a home near the Blackburns to determine if it had any connection to the case.

Amanda and Davey Blackburn had moved to Indianapolis from South Carolina to found the independent Resonate Church in 2012. More than 2,000 people attended a memorial service for Amanda Blackburn the Sunday after her death.

Fox 59 reports a pretrial conference for Taylor and Watson is scheduled for Jan. 8, 2016. The trial date hasn’t been set.

Blacks complain about crime but do nothing to take back their communities.

the real crime these days, is saying anything about blacks killing Whites. No one, from the President to the smallest town mayor, will call, dare I say it? Will call a spade, a spade.

The real crime these days is saying anything negative about blacks at all.

Where is the "national outrage"? Where are all the "civil rights" groups? Any body see any protests or how about riots over this? Has Obama called the family of the victim? NOT!

Perhaps, but Sam is 100 % spot on.

Say anything negative about someone black and you are racist.

Why are they not getting the death penalty?

You know, the pregnant preacher's wife that three nig@#$ raped and murdered?
No one is standing up, and saying her life mattered at all. We are in the middle of a Nationwide war on White folks by murderous thug blacks, and the media won't call it. Politicians won't acknowledge it, and even White folks are afraid to talk about it.
I am less worried about ISIS, than I am about black yutes in America.
No where in the stories online, does the media mention that these animals were black, or that the Preacher's wife was White.

The problem with all of this, especially in recent times, is that we are all Americans.

We just had a case out here in Kansas city a couple of weeks ago where a 43 year old white woman was stabbed to death while in a car wash by two black gang bangers. Of course it was only in the local news. No national coverage or candle light vigils. If the colors of those involved would have been reversed the rent a mobs would be in the streets.

Car washes are a popular spot for car jackings. Guy drives in with bling wheels and the punks pop a cap in his ass and drive off.
