Troopers Arrest Colorado Murder Suspect after Brief Chase

0

Posey County – Friday morning, January 6, at approximately 10:23 a.m., Trooper Fulton was patrolling I-64 near the 7 mile-marker when he observed the driver of a gray 2015 Nissan Pathfinder traveling east at 86 mph.  Trooper Fulton attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver continued to travel east at a high rate of speed before exiting north onto SR 165 and then west on CR 1000 South.

The driver reached speeds in excess of 90 mph before losing control, leaving the roadway on the south side, rolling several times, and coming to a final rest in an open field. The driver was not injured and was taken into custody. A vehicle registration inquiry on the Nissan revealed the vehicle had been reported stolen from Wheat Ridge, CO, and may have been involved in a homicide on Thursday, January 5.

Indiana State Police detectives were later able to determine the driver, Shawnathan Deangelo Chance, 26, of Dunn, NC, was a suspect in the homicide. Based on information obtained by Indiana State Police detectives after the crash, Chance was arrested on probable cause for the homicide and will be transported to the Posey County Jail where he will be held without bond by Colorado authorities.

Direct inquiries regarding the Colorado homicide to the Wheat Ridge Police Department at 303-237-2220.

The Week in Indiana History
Prison

1821     The first state prison was authorized by the Indiana Legislature.  The facility was established on Market Street in Jeffersonville.  Prisoners were committed to hard labor.  Within 20 years, the prison was too small, and another was built in Clarksville.  Pictured:  Indiana Historical Marker in Clarksville.

1882     The Indianapolis News reported that hundreds of people had gone to Union Depot to see the first installation of electric lights.  The brilliance of the scene amazed those who passed through the building.

Helen1895     Indiana attorney Helen Gougar was admitted to the Tippecanoe County Bar.  On the same day, she argued before the Tippecanoe County Superior Court that the Indiana Constitution did not specifically prohibit women from voting.  The Court ruled against her, and she later appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court.
George1927     George Taliaferro was born in Tennessee, but his family moved to Gary, Indiana, where he graduated from Gary Roosevelt High School.  He became a star football player and attended Indiana University where he played halfback, quarterback, defensive back, and kicker.  He led the Hoosiers to an undefeated Big Ten Conference championship.  He became a professional player and the first African American drafted by the National Football League.

1942     The Von Trapp Family Singers were on stage at the English Theater on the Circle in Indianapolis.  Baron Von Trapp introduced his wife Maria and seven of their ten children who were on the tour.  The family sang many old songs from their Austrian homeland.  The Indianapolis Star said the program was “pleasantly nostalgic of the days when large families gathered around the home organ on winter’s nights.”

1982     Renowned conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein arrived at Indiana University to begin a six-week residency at the School of Music.  “I’m very happy to be in Bloomington,” Bernstein said.  “Even the cold weather should stimulate the creative work . . . I have come here to do.”

 Non-profit Serves Homeless Veterans In Southwest Indiana 

 INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA) announced today the selection of ECHO Housing Corporation to serve as a Non-Profit Partner (NPP) in 2023. The program partners IDVA with an Indiana non-profit dedicated to enhancing the lives of Indiana’s Veterans. 

ECHO is a non-profit organization based in Evansville, Indiana, and serves homeless veterans in nine southwestern Indiana counties through two veteran-centric programs. ECHO provides employment-centric case management services for hundreds of homeless veterans through its Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP). ECHO also has six emergency shelter beds for immediate use by veterans served in HVRP. In addition to HVRP, ECHO also operates Lucas Place II, the first permanent supportive housing site in the state of Indiana specifically for veterans. This facility has 27, 1-bedroom apartments for veterans experiencing homelessness. ECHO provides on-site case management for all residents and works tirelessly to increase the quality of life for each Veteran. 

Together, IDVA and ECHO will plan the annual IDVA golf outing as well as other events throughout the year to raise funds for ECHO’s mission; raise awareness of state and federal benefits available to veterans; and foster community, camaraderie, and connection. 

“We strive every day to end veteran homelessness, and the programs ECHO provides align with our goals to enhance the lives of all Indiana veterans,” said Dennis Wimer, IDVA director. “I look forward to working alongside ECHO over the next year.”
