38-year-old Kalekeni Lindeire pleaded guilty to the murder of Noria Mtambalika and the attempted murder of Mundi Glory Sendeza.

The court will sentence Lindeire to serve 50 years in the department of corrections.

Back on Sept. 25, 2020, Mtambalika was driving to the Hickory Village Apartment complex with her sister, Sendeza, in the front passenger seat.

Lindeire pursued Mtambalika and Sendeza at a high rate of speed from Hickory Village Apartments to the parking lot at 3601 Edison Road. As Lindeire chased them, he fired shots at their car, eventually striking and killing Mtambalika.

Mtambalike’s vehicle flipped onto its roof as it turned into the parking lot. Lindeire then exited his vehicle and attempted to drag Ms. Sendeza from the car but was prevented from doing so by witnesses.

Lindeire then ran back to his vehicle and drove away when a Notre Dame Police officer arrived.

Lindeire is currently being held in the St. Joseph County Jail.

Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 3.

No problem 50 years , He will be on the streets in 5 because he’s nice in jail
50 years should be 50 years period!
Murder should never have parole stipulations
Always name the judge and prosecutors
In the case
