Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Saturday, September 20th.
We're waking up to a classic late summer Saturday, with plenty of sun and temperatures soaring near 88 degrees. It's warm out there—so keep extra water handy if you’re heading out to enjoy the city. Rain looks to make a comeback by Sunday and especially on Monday, so if you’ve got outdoor plans, today’s your best shot to stay dry. Forecasters from WRTV and the National Weather Service expect next week to bring a cooler shift, with highs dropping to the 70s and some possible showers.
In breaking news from the city's northwest side, IMPD is releasing video of a police chase and shooting that began as a domestic violence call near Forty-sixth Street and Emerson Avenue. The suspect, Walter McNay, fired at officers during the chase before being taken into custody and taken to the hospital, where he later died. No officers or bystanders were hurt, and the department's use-of-force review board is now investigating.
Nearby in Greenwood, a tragic shooting at an apartment near US 31 and County Line Road is leading to murder and attempted murder charges against Isaiah Pink Junior. Police report the victim, Baydon Bru, was not the intended target. The investigation continues.
On the personal interest front, the Fountain Square neighborhood is embracing a big change. City leaders and the Coalition for Homelessness Intervention and Prevention have successfully moved 18 unhoused neighbors from encampments along Leonard Street into permanent housing in what they’re calling a model solution for homelessness. Streets to Home Indy now aims to clear more encampments citywide and has set a goal to end homelessness in Indianapolis by 2028.
Switching gears to city hall, the debate over budgets continues to make headlines. Lawrence mayor and councilors are locked in disagreements, leading a financial advisor to back out. Across Wayne Township, leaders are focusing new budgets on core essentials after recent property tax cuts, with future spending expected to get much tighter.
In Mars Hill, Decatur Township Fire reports a big drop in opioid overdoses thanks to widespread Narcan kits and increased awareness. First responders say daily calls are now every few weeks, marking a hopeful trend for the southwest side.
If you’re looking for things to do this weekend, we’ve got a lineup packed with culture and community. The Art Squared market returns to Fountain Square with live music, kids’ activities, and an art competition today. You can catch the Rice and Beans Festival at Fonseca Theatre in Haughville and help support affordable housing at the free Jammin’ for a Cause concert, noon to 6 p.m. at Central Library. Central Library also hosts the new documentary “Beyond el Barrio,” exploring Latino history here in Indy.
In sports, race cars are back on the track at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with a perfect cloudless day for racing. Local schools are seeing strong performances too, with football teams on the north and west sides logging convincing wins this Friday night.
When it comes to jobs and real estate, market activity remains steady with roughly a thousand new job postings in Marion County this week and about 120 homes sold since Monday. Openings at local retailers on Mass Ave and Broad Ripple continue to add hiring options, while downtown is seeing a few small businesses shutter their doors amid shifting costs.
And to bring us home on a feel-good story, Mirror Indy news just landed a community award for outstanding coverage of housing and homelessness—an honor accepted by reporter Tyler Fenwick at the CHIP ceremony. It’s a testament to how community journalism is making a difference right here at home.
