A 30-year-old man in Indiana will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars for killing his 59-year-old neighbor, gunning the older man down “like a predator chasing his prey” because he believed the victim was “hacking his network.”

Delaware Circuit Court Senior Judge Marianne L. Vorhees on Monday ordered Cy E. Alley to serve a sentence of 70 years in a state correctional facility for the August 2022 slaying of Gerald Lee Copley, authorities announced.

According to a press release from the Office of the Delaware County Prosecuting Attorney, a jury last month needed only about 20 minutes of deliberation before finding Alley guilty on one count of murder as well as a sentencing enhancement for using a firearm in the commission of a felony. Specifically, Vorhees sentenced Alley to 60 years for Copley’s murder plus an additional 10 years on the firearm enhancement.

“During the trial, prosecutors showed jurors evidence indicating that on August 23, 2022, Alley shot Copley two times with a 12 gauge shotgun, reloaded, and shot Copley two more times,” prosecutors wrote in the release. “When imposing sentence, the Court noted the sheer brutality of Alley’s acts including shooting the victim twice, reloading his shot gun and ‘much like a predator chasing his prey’ the Defendant walked up to the victim and shot him two more times.”

Authorities provided additional details in a probable cause affidavit filed in connection with the shooting.

Deputies with the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office on Aug. 23, 2022, responded to an emergency call at a residence located in the 12000 block of E 500 N Road in Albany, Indiana regarding a reported shooting. Upon arriving at the scene, first responders located the victim — later identified as Copley — who appeared to have been shot “multiple times” and was “laying up against his house.” A spent 12-gauge shotgun shell was also recovered from the scene.
