INDIANAPOLIS — The Haughville neighborhood is a close community fractured by crime and violence. Neighbors hoped to reverse the trend with some help from Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers.
"It takes everybody working together to change this culture," said Ronald Covington, a pastor and president of the Haughville Strong Community Organization."We have a culture of violence that has to be changed." "We always get ignored on the west side of the river," Williams said."I've told the mayor, I've told City-County Council. We get ignored."
"These young people who are out here feeling like there's nothing," Covington said."I think it's our responsibility to show them that there is something."
