I am heading to 42nd and Mitthoefer Rd to patrol the Carriage House East Apartments. I stopped at 42nd and Post Rd, where the Town and Terrace Apartments used to be before they were torn down. This was one of the most dangerous parts of the city. In January 2018, Indy TenPoint Coalition started patrolling that area. The first six months were tough. I remember getting a phone call from an ex-gang member who told me about an 18-year-old who was missing. I was told he had been killed, and his body had been placed in one of the abandoned apartments in Town and Terrace Apartments. I contacted IMPD and shared the information, and they found the body. After Indy TenPoint established itself in the area, from June 2018 to June 2019, in partnership with IMPD and the community, there were no homicides in one of the city's worst zonesโ38th to 42nd St between Post Rd and Mitthoefer Rd. That area has not gone a year without a homicide since.
