🌱 Indy Parks Hiring + 11,341 Potholes Filled So Far + Man Shot

Hey, neighbors! It's me again, Miranda Fraraccio, your host of the Indianapolis Daily.

First, today's weather:

Clouds breaking and mild. High: 65 Low: 41.

Here are the top three stories today in Indianapolis:

1. Indy Parks is looking to fill more than 400 jobs ahead of the summer months. Incentives are being offered to job seekers, including a $200 “Early Bird” sign-on bonus to new and returning seasonal employees after 100 hours are worked. In addition, part-time seasonal and part-time year-round staffers who refer a new hire will also receive a $200 bonus. (WFYI)
2. Indianapolis Department of Public Works (DPW) crews are taking advantage of this week's warm and dry weather by tackling potholes and strip-patching. Crews have been able to fill 11,341 potholes across the city in the last week, resolving 1,343 service requests. Hoosiers looking to submit requests for road repairs can do so through the Indy Pothole Viewer, RequestIndy app, or the Mayor’s Action Center at 317-327-4622. (FOX 59 Indianapolis)
3. A man was found dead on the northwest side of Indianapolis on Monday morning. The victim, whose identity has not yet been released, was found with gunshot wounds in the 4100 block of Eisenhower Dr. and was pronounced dead at the scene. Homicide detectives are investigating and police said they do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the public. (FOX 59 Indianapolis)
