Protester who met Holcomb now in jail
NIKI KELLY | The Journal Gazette
Last June, when demonstrations about racial injustice were plaguing the state and nation, Gov. Eric Holcomb met one-on-one with an Indianapolis protester at the Governor's Residence.
Photos show them shaking hands – Holcomb wearing a mask and Malik Muhammad without.
The governor later released a statement saying “Historic journeys take historic first steps. Malik and I took one, together, today.”
Now Muhammad is sitting in the Marion County jail charged with 28 counts – from attempted aggravated murder and attempted assault in the first degree to unlawful manufacture of a destructive device and unlawful possession of a loaded firearm.
