A woman accused in the 2021 shooting of a man at a northeast-side McDonald’s drive-thru has been freed of her charges, according to court records.

Marion County Judge Shatrese Flowers on Wednesday declared Imane McRae not guilty of voluntary manslaughter in the death of 23-year-old Jesus Medrano, who died in February 2021, three weeks after being shot in the head in a McDonald’s parking lot.

McRae, who waived her right to a jury, also previously faced an attempted murder charge in the case, but prosecutors earlier this month asked the courts to dismiss the charge stating simply the state “declines prosecution.”

“We dismissed the attempted murder charge and pursued voluntary manslaughter as that statute was most appropriate given the facts and evidence of the case,” a spokesperson for the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office said Thursday afternoon.

The judge granted the dismissal.

Following Wednesday’s decision, online court records show McRae has been freed from home detention and GPS monitoring.

Details of the case outlined in arrest affidavit

A probable cause affidavit detailing McRae’s arrest at the time stated the shooting was preceded by an argument over music playing in the car she was in while at the fast food chain’s drive-thru line.

Surveillance footage, the affidavit said, showed Medrano pull his car behind a gray Honda parked at the drive-thru shortly before the gunfire. Records said the video further showed Medrano arguing with women in the Honda and he appears to hit their car with his from behind. He then gets out of the car, looks at his bumper and continues to argue.

The affidavit said Medrano is then seen returning to his car, where he “does something” before running back to the Honda and knocking off the passenger-side mirror. He then is seen backing away with his hands outstretched and palms facing up, records said.

“The front passenger’s door of the Honda opens and an object, a gun but not clearly seen, is stuck out of the window. Jesus then falls to the ground and the Honda flees,” the affidavit reads.

McRae told police during interviews that she and her friends were listening to a song in the drive-thru lane when they heard a man behind them yelling. She said he began to argue and then “acted like he was putting a gun in his waistband.”

No weapons were found in Medrano’s car. McRae later turned herself in to police.
