INDIANAPOLIS — One boy survived the mass murder inside his home on the northeast side of Indianapolis last weekend.
Extended family tells 13News that 15-year-old Xavier Childs is recovering in the hospital from his injuries. Xavier was shot early Sunday morning, but escaped the house on Adams Street, ran to get help and told police that his 17-year-old brother shot the family.
Raymond and Kezzie Childs, both 42, two of Xavier's siblings - 18-year-old Elijah and 13-year-old Rita - and Elijah's girlfriend, 19-year-old Kiara Hawkins, who was pregnant with their soon-to-be-born son, all died inside the house.
Extended members of the Childs family set up a GoFundMe account with a goal of raising $50,000 to lay the family to rest.
