IMPD said the FBI and Lawrence Police Department assisted in the arrest. (Fox 59)
2. Victims of non-fatal shootings in Indianapolis have been reluctant to provide law enforcement with information about who shot them. Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears says while 50 percent of non-fatal shooting victims previously would give information, that number has dropped down to about 30 percent. Mears said it’s likely due to mistrust between the community and law enforcement which has intensified over the past year. (WFYI)
