Indianapolis just recorded its most violent year ever with 244 homicides in 2020. City and law enforcement leaders weighed in Tuesday on local trends and their plans to address the issue in 2021.
Indianapolis, like other large cities, saw a spike in violent crime with criminal homicides and non-fatal shootings up 40 percent. Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett said the city is focused on the causes of violence.
“We must seek to know why this is happening to better combat this deadly violence,” Hogsett said.
He said many factors are worsened by the pandemic, including economic stress.
