Few weeks ago. Murder is no stranger at this gas station. In the last four years, three young men killed here. All three murdered inside where people go to play the numbers, buy cigarettes and soft drinks. Customers say theres a dangerous mix of drugs and guns in the neighborhood. Theres way too many drugs around here. Most of the killings are drug related. Its a major problem. So when you combine the prevalence of drugs with the high prevalence of guns, its a very bad combination. Reporter december 2nd, 2013, it was 25yearold Delante Jackson shot and killed at the gas station. An arrest made in that case.

Some Fort Wayne community members came together Friday evening to celebrate the guilty verdict in the case against Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
Last May, Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes, leading Floyd to suffocate. On Wednesday, a jury found Chauvin guilty on two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter.
On Friday, the First Presbyterian Church of Fort Wayne organized a gathering on the Allen County Courthouse green to celebrate the verdict, but also discuss the need for continued action against police brutality.
Delante Jackson is the senior minister of East Chestnut Church of Christ in Fort Wayne. He urged the gathered crowd to continue to be vigilant, not to become complacent following Chauvin’s trial.
