“Trust is the foundation that will help us go forward and that foundation that we must rebuild on,” Rev. Webster Sr. said. “Nobody likes the murders, whether they are criminal homicides or non-criminal. We are losing too many people,” IMPD Chief Randal Taylor said.WRTV numbers show that 76 people have been killed this year as of April 27. On this same day in 2022, the number was 70. In 2021, the number was 79.
“Luckily one of the bullets skinned my car. If I hadn’t veered off to the right, that bullet probably would have killed me,” Marple said.
