JUST IN: Shooting/Attempted Murder Arrest 4900 blk Fairmont Ave
 On August 16th, around 6:30 a.m., Evansville Police Officers were dispatched to the 4900 block of Fairmont Ave. in reference to a male who had been shot. Officers located the adult victim on scene with a gunshot wound. The victim was transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. At this time, it appears that the victim has a non-life-threatening injury.Â
A witness gave officers a description of the suspects and it was reported that both of them were in possession of guns. The suspects were on bikes trying to flee from the scene. Officers in the area located them but both suspects continued to flee from officers. Officers were eventually able to apprehend both suspects and take them into custody without further incident. Two guns were recovered in the area of the apprehension.Â
Both suspects were transported to EPD Headquarters for interviews with detectives. One suspect was identified as 26-year-old Lomante Williams. The other suspect is Williams’ juvenile cousin. The guardian of the juvenile was notified.Â
A witness told detectives that Williams was her ex-boyfriend. Williams came over to her apartment with his juvenile cousin around 6:30 a.m. Williams found the victim inside the apartment, shot him, beat him up, and robbed him of his ID and money. The juvenile suspect helped beat up the victim and also took items from the victim’s pockets while he was laying on the floor.Â
Lomante Williams was arrested and booked into the Vanderburgh County Confinement Center. Williams was charged with; Attempted Murder, Robbery with a Deadly Weapon, Burglary w/Deadly Weapon, Battery w/Deadly Weapon, Resisting Law Enforcement, and Unlawful carry of a Handgun.Â
The juvenile was charged with Robbery with a Deadly Weapon, Burglary with a Deadly Weapon, Battery with a Deadly Weapon, Child with a Dangerous Weapon, and Resisting Law Enforcement.Â

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: COMMISSIONER CHERYL MUSGRAVE OPPOSES THE PROPOSED $50,000 PAY INCREASE FOR MAYOR WINNECKE
COMMISSIONER MUSGRAVE OPPOSES THE PROPOSED $50,000 PAY INCREASE FOR Â MAYOR WINNECKE
BY CHERYL MUSGRAVE CANDIDATE FOR THE MAYOR OF EVANSVILLE
AUGUST 16, 2022
I’ve heard from Civic Center insiders that a measure may be introduced to the Evansville City Council that would increase the Mayor’s salary from its current level of approximately $100,000 annually to more than $150,000 a year.
I’ve talked to a lot of people about what Evansville needs. Not one of them has ever said a higher salary for the mayor.
To put this increase into perspective: the median household income in Evansville is $42,623 per year–not per person, but the entire household. (https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/evansvillecityindiana) This proposed increase would be more than an Evansville household makes in a year.
This proposal for a massive salary increase forgets what the hard-working families of Evansville need. At a time when water bills are soaring, the parks are deteriorating, and our streets are crumbling, this proposal wouldn’t fix the real problems our city’s government should address.
I ask that City Council reject this proposal. If the money exists, spend it on real priorities instead–like our roads, our parks, and our water bills.
Call or write your city council members and let them know what you think about this proposal. You can email them all at  mailto:CityCouncil@evansville.in.gov and individually through this link:https://www.evansvillegov.org/city/topic/index.php?topicid=749&structureid=16

DeHart Joins USI Women’s Basketball Staff
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball Head Coach Rick Stein announced the hiring of Emma DeHart as an assistant coach in 2022-23. DeHart joins the staff following her USI playing career from 2017-22.
Â
“Emma has been an integral part of our women’s basketball program for the last five seasons,” Stein said. “Her numbers and accomplishments are easily noticed, but it was her leadership, work ethic, dedication, and passion for USI Women’s Basketball that certainly helped her and her teams to have success.”
Â
Since USI’s 2021-22 season ended last Spring, DeHart has been learning and working with the USI coaching staff on a part-time basis, acclimating herself to college coaching. Going forward, DeHart will continue to be involved with on-court skill development, scouting, travel, student-athlete academics, and recruiting.
Â
DeHart was a three-time All-GLVC honoree and five-time Academic All-GLVC member while playing for the Screaming Eagles under Stein. She finished her career ranked No. 1 all-time at USI in games played (126), No. 2 in three-point field goals attempted (433), No. 8 in free throws made (296) and three-point field goals made (127), No. 9 in free throws attempts (389), No. 12 in scoring (1,189) and assists (230).
Â
In her career, DeHart scored in double-figures 59 times, including seven 20-point outings. Her career-high 39 points came in 2020-21 in a come-from-behind overtime road win over Rockhurst. The 39 points tied Amie Newhart and LeAnn Freeland for third on USI’s all-time single-game scoring list and was the most points ever scored by a USI women’s basketball player in a road win.
Â
DeHart wrapped up her playing career at USI in 2021-22 starting all of USI’s 29 games, averaging 9.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.6 steals per contest. She reached double-figures in the scoring column 12 times and the 20-point plateau twice, including a season-high 24 points in USI’s 90-78 win over West Texas A&M at the Las Vegas Holiday Hoops Classic.
Â
“Emma’s experience here as a player, and the experience she gained these last few months with our coaching staff, will definitely help her and our program as we move forward into preseason workouts next week,” Stein added.
Â
DeHart is an Indianapolis, Indiana native where she attended Southport High School.
