A few days ago, a reader commented, asking about D’jay Lindsay, whether this was an unreported homicide. Today the obituary appeared. No official news (or followup by the reader). So is this one we need to count. Or not?

2011 ended with the count at 110. What will this year be like? At least we didn’t wake up to the count already at ’1′ like we did in 2011.

Until the past few weeks, the bloodshed in Indy was wonderfully slow. But the ‘holiday spirit’ seems like a foreign concept to the Thug population — or else they misinterpreted ’tis better to give than to receive’ as there was a sharp uptick the last 3 weeks or so.

Soon we start over again. There are a number of 2011 homicides that are still incomplete in our database because the information seemingly never made it to the media. There may be ones we nave missed altogether.

A sharp-eyed reader, Mr Anybody, alerted us to yet another homicide. This one (#106) occurred on Monday and only one news outlet (so far) has reported it or the fact a suspect had been arrested for the crime.

Things were pretty quiet around town for the past few weeks, but there seems to be a last minute rush to squeeze a few more killin’s in before the holidays.

That’s the rumor. We hear that this occurred on the SW District and the officer’s car was towed to the city’s maintenance garage where it will sit all locked up until sometime Monday.

The officer was on duty at the time. Did a prisoner slip into the front seat and drive off? Did the officer jump out for a foot chase and not secure his vehicle?

Inquiring minds want to know. However, the story seems to be being kept from the local media as it’s not been reported by any of them (so far).

Or perhaps it didn’t happen. Or Doctor of Public Safety Straub issued an order that it didn’t happen.
