Baby Boy Hawkins.”
Elijah and Rita were the defendant’s siblings, according to
IndyStar. Court records cited by the outlet showed that Elijah was in a relationship with Hawkins, and lived in the home.
The murder allegedly happened amid a spat over whether the teen defendant could stay Saturday night at his girlfriend’s home. In this version of events, a woman identified as Childs III’s girlfriend said that his father called him to return home. He did, but he later came back to his girlfriend’s residence with two bags of clothes, claiming his father kicked him out. Childs III allegedly feigned ignorance when the girlfriend got an alert half an hour later about there being a shooting on Adams Street, where his family lived.
The 17-year-old male suspect awaiting formal charges after his arrest Monday in connection to what Indianapolis authorities described as a “mass murder” that left six people, including an unborn child, dead and a seventh person wounded over the weekend will likely be charged in adult court.
