Wednesday’s Headlines
The family of a 15-year-old girl found murdered and badly burned wants justice. IMPD says Dominique Allen’s death was likely a random homicidal act and they have no suspects. The Marion County Coroner’s Office says the Ben Davis High freshman was strangled before being set on fire. Grief counselors are on hand to help those in need at the school.
Indianapolis Metro Police are searching for the person who shot three people early Wednesday morning on the city’s far east side. Police were called to the 2100 block of Fairhaven Drive just after 2 o’clock. Fairhaven is located a little north of 21st Street and east of Mitthoeffer Road. Medics sped the three shooting victims with non-life-threatening injuries to area hospitals. No further details are available at this time on a description of the shooter.
Little Eagle Creek is being searched for clues in the disappearance of six-week-old Delano Wilson. IMPD says there’s no strong evidence that the infant may be near there, but investigators are leaving no stone unturned. Tuesday’s search came just hours after officers searched the home of Wilson’s parents. The infant was reportedly kidnapped last week from the arms of his father after his dad says he was pistol whipped.
Indiana’s right-to-work law is being upheld by a federal appeals court. Tuesday’s split decision was made by a three judge panel of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The ruling means the 2012 law that prohibits companies from forcing employees to pay union dues is constitutional and does not violate federal labor laws.
Jim Irsay is being suspended for six games and fined 500-thousand-dollars by the NFL. This comes after he pleaded guilty on Tuesday to one misdemeanor charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Irsay isn’t allowed to attend games, practices, meetings, team or league events until October 9th.
Usher Raymond is bringing the “UR Experience” to fans around the country this fall. The R&B star has announced dates for a new tour, his first in three years. It looks like the closest he’s getting to Indy is Chicago at the United Center on November 17.
Win or go home. That’s the bottom line for Wednesday night’s game for the Indiana Fever as they take on the Chicago Sky in Game Three of the Eastern Conference Finals at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Both teams protected their home floor in this series. The winner of tonight’s matchup will play the Phoenix Mercury. Tip is at 7 o’clock, Eastern.
Wednesday’s Weather: Sun and a few passing clouds. High near 85 degrees.
I’m Kim Wells, enjoy your day.
