Description

A third of deadly youth gun violence in Indianapolis can be tracked back to social media, according to a report from Chalkbeat Indiana and Axios Indianapolis. Arika Herron, a reporter for Axios Indianapolis, said Axios and Chalkbeat Indiana requested all of the probable cause affidavits – that ended up being thousands of pages – for every gun homicide since 2018 that involved school-age children as the suspect or victim of the crime in all cases that the Marion County prosecutor brought murder charges. https://www.wthr.com/article/news/crime/social-media-gun-violence-youth-teens-kids-instagram-facebook-snapchat-discord-indianapolis-chalkbeat-axios-shootings-guns-homicide-deadly-murder/531-35ad634e-75aa-410c-a208-2787d4ecbc78
