AG’s office joins TenPoint Coalition’s celebration of year without homicide in Far Eastside Indy neighborhood
The Office of the Attorney General on Monday joined the Indianapolis TenPoint Coalition, law enforcement, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and local residents to celebrate one year without a homicide in a Far Eastside Indianapolis community in the area of 42nd Street and Post Road.
“The TenPoint Coalition continues to do incredible work for this community,†Attorney General Curtis Hill said. “They make a huge impact in Hoosier neighborhoods by spending time directly with those most at risk of engaging in dangerous and/or violent behavior.â€
Rev. Charles Harrison, leader of the Indianapolis TenPoint Coalition, praised local police and others for working in partnership with TenPoint toward achieving mutual goals.
“This is a collaborative effort that has helped curb the pattern of violence and the root causes behind it,†said Rev. Harrison. “We are creating safer neighborhoods where people will no longer have to live in fear.â€
In Indianapolis, TenPoint has markedly reduced urban youth gun violence in neighborhoods where the initiative has been utilized.
“Today we celebrate TenPoint’s success in this neighborhood,†Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett said. “Those who represent TenPoint will tell you that without support from law enforcement generally and the Attorney General’s office in particular, days like today wouldn’t be possible. It also involves the neighborhoods and the community activists.â€
Chief Bryan Roach of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department expressed the same theme.
“‘Working together works’ is what I’ve always heard from Rev. Harrison,” Chief Roach said. “I appreciate Pastor James Jackson and all those working together in our neighborhoods to curb violence in our city.â€
Monday’s press conference was hosted at Fervent Prayer Church, where Pastor Jackson serves.
“About a year ago, we gathered together with the goal of reducing and preventing juvenile crime and overall crime on the Far Eastside of Indianapolis,†Jackson said. “We’re very excited and happy to report that we have been able to do just that out of collaboration with many community partners. It is our prayer and our hope we will be able to continue.â€
Lawrence Police Chief David Hofmann said he has seen significant improvements in the area.
“Partnerships such as the one we enjoy with the TenPoint Coalition truly improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods,†he said. “We certainly see that is the case in the area of 42nd Street and Post Road,â€
Multiple police agencies have contributed to the cause, said Lawrence Mayor Steve Collier.
“This is a great example of the cooperation that exists between IMPD and LPD,†Collier said. “It’s a tough area for both of us. You hear so much bad news, but now we’re seeing things trending in a better way, and we want to celebrate that.â€
An area resident expressed gratitude for changes she has witnessed at Meadowlark Apartments, where she resides with four children.
“It feels safer,†said Chaquita Croney. “My kids and I can sit outside without having to worry about hearing gunshots. I feel better now.â€
Extensive conversations in 2017 between Attorney General Hill and Rev. Harrison led to a partnership via which the Office of the Indiana Attorney General now provides logistical and financial support to neighborhood organizations that commit to following TenPoint principles.
Chief of Staff Mary Beth Bonaventura represented Attorney General Hill at today’s event. State Sen. Jim Merritt also attended.

Phillips’ Homer The Difference In Rain-Shortened Otters Win
Sunday’s win gave Evansville back-to-back series wins against Schaumburg.
The Boomers struck first for the second time this series in the first inning. Julio Gonzalez led off with a single and scored on an RBI single from Dylan Jones.
In the top of the third, Jimmy Galusky hit a solo homerun over the left field wall to extend the Schaumburg lead to two.
The Otters were able to respond and get on the board in the bottom of the third with a Keith Grieshaber two-run RBI single that scored Justin Erby and J.J. Gould to even the game at two.
In the bottom of the fourth, Dakota Phillips hit his fifth home run of the season when he smacked a solo shot to dead centerfield to give the Otters a 3-2 lead.
Rain came pouring down on Bosse Field in the bottom of the sixth, causing a rain delay. The game was later officially called, giving the Otters a 3-2 victory.
In a spot start, Devin Rose allowed all three Otters runs – two earned – as he pitched four innings with three walks and two strikeouts. He was credited with the loss.
Tyler Beardsley was credited with the win, tossing six innings, surrendering two runs on five hits. He bookends the homestand that resulted in wins for the Otters, as they were able to win both series against the Boomers and the Windy City Thunderbolts with a 4-2 record in six games.
