z A person is now in custody for homicide #7 of 2010. Per the Indy Star this afternoon:
Victor Williams
A murder suspect turned himself into a local church, then police today.Victor A. Williams, 39, Indianapolis, was preliminarily charged with murder and attempted robbery in connection with Saturday’s fatal shooting of Ousmane Gueye at a Shell station at 3060 W. 16th St., according to Lt. Jeffrey Duhamell of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
Gueye, 51, a clerk at the gas station, was struggling with the robber when he was shot.
The Indiana Offender Database shows this cretin has SIX felony convictions going back to 1988. In 1997 he was sentenced to 25 years for “DEALING IN COCAINE OR NARCOTIC DRUG” so why was he out on the streets in 2006? That’s just NINE YEARS!
His other convictions: POSS. OF HD GUN W/O LICENSE, ROBBERY (ARMED), HANDGUN VIOLATION, ROBBERY (ARMED) [again!], BURGLARY.

Why are all these hit and runs happening in Indy not being counted as homicides. Weapon {Automobile}
That’s something I considered in the past, but I feel a distinction exists – between homicides resulting from a clear act of violence and homicides that result from ‘accidental’ means. Now that blurs even more in the case of a drunk driver. There’s a crime and a resultant death. So I asked myself “Do I include those or not?”
I have chosen to only record the deaths resulting from criminal intent. This more closely aligns with the ‘officlal’ reported counts and the main reason I began my own count was to see if the official numbers were accurate. News outlets sometimes vary their count because they have lost track (or as I learned this year, they don’t count those in Speedway, Beech Grove or Lawrence which let’s the ‘Indianapolis’ count appear lower). I count any that occur inside Marion County.
