INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) On Monday, Indianapolis lost its 76th neighbor in a shooting on Brouse Avenue.
The homicide pushed the city’s record even further, compared to this time last year when IMPD recorded 47 murders.
Sunday night, faith leaders from Butler-Tarkington churches shared their concerns and possible solutions with the community during a candlelight vigil. But their call for change is going beyond that gathering.
“We knew that this was a time for us to not just shake our heads and say isn’t that so sad. but rather to stand up, speak up and invite the community to join in and say no there are things that we can do and we wanna get busy doing them,” Leah Gunning Francis, vice president of academic affairs at Christian Theological Seminary, said.
