I forgot where I live. Do I live in Gary or Detroit?

No you leave right in Indy...where things happen like this everyday...Indy is just bigger than Gary so you don't hear about everything that takes place so no need to be confused about where you stay...4 the record Indy isn't any better than the "G"...

that man neither of them is the kids father. i know all the kids fathers and they were not him so stop saying that he was the daddy.

Sad thing is she did see the RED FLAGS, she filed charges, got restraining orders, went to shelters and still this goon searched her out, found her and ultimately killed her.
The horrific part in all of this, is her young daughter has been raised in this situation and will more so then not continue the cycle of allowing men to use and abuse her. It is sad this young lady had to witness the demise of her mother at the hands of the man Im sure she witnessed over and over again abuse her mother.

but the choice is up to the lil girl on how she will end up in her life hope she has a good familey So all the bad is gone now its all about the chioces she makes for herself and her life she needs to know that them shoes her mother wore are not her shoes so she needs not to fell them fill her on shoes walk her own pathway way of her life

People, wake up!

When you know someone is crazy jealous, just like she knew, you MUST arm yourself and be prepared to shoot them when they enter your home.

OJ's wife. Same thing. She knew how he was. And how many times did he break in and beat her? Why? After their separation, he should have been shot as soon as he crossed the threshold of her door, just like this poor woman.

When will people learn?

You MUST protect yourselves. The police cannot get there in time.

[imagine that]

There needs to be outrage over this stupid @$$$hit! These criminals should never have been out of jail. The killing of women with children needs to stop! Yeah, these are REAL men you committ these crimes.......... more like real ANIMALS. These thugs think they are men because they carry a gun, and they really are no more than a animal in society.

How many women have been the victims of this stupidity lately? Crystal, Chenelle, Samantha and now April. THIS HAS TO STOP!!!!!!!!

We all have a past, we all have made wrong choices. So therefore, we shouldn't be quick to judge. The Bible says.. Judge not unless you be judge...you without sin cast the first stone.. So none of us have that right to judge because none of us are prefect...and we all sin and fall short of the Glory of God so no stones should be thrown...Just a thought to ponder...If something happen to you today..and the choices you made in life were now exposed to the world..what would people find about you??? No matter what choices April made I m sure her children loved her and she loved them inspite of it all!
P.S. Let us just hold these children up in our PRAYERS and stop all the bashing!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Call 911, ask for help. Unfortunately this is the reality people. I live in Hamilton County. My husband has had a history of physical abuse. I don't have family to fall back on. I have filed 3 different domestic charges on him and the wonderful prosecutor in Hamilton County, even with pictures taken by the pieces of crap Noblesville Police department, have let my cases go. Given me a card to Prevail. Dropped the charges. I DIDN"T recant my story and wasn't even offered the chance to have him prosecuted. Sonya Leerkamp in her brilliance made the choice to let it go. Mind you, Noblesville even pulled him over when he had an aresenal of guns in his car and let him go. They took him to Gallahue after he threatened to hurt me and himself. Gallahue (who was supposed to keep him 24-48 hours minimum) let him go after 5. 5 hours. That's all. My daughter had the same problem with a boyfriend that threw her through a glass door and left marks. Noblesville wrote a report and Hamilton County let it go. My husband beat the hell out of my daughter last year (the last straw for the shambles of a marriage), she filed charges. Hamilton County let it go. Listen to yourselves who have never lived it and make judgements. Live in hell, just for a while, see how the "system" really serves people and you will find out you aren't safe period. From one woman who knows, the physical and emotional abuse, the stalking, the threats, etc. All of you on your soapbox, get off and face reality.

learn how to date not mate!
the average person spends more time picking out a new cd than they do picking out their mates. if you will date them long enough a person will reveal what and who they really are. people can fool you for a while but in the long run they cannot pretend to be something there not.
according to wthr 13 the 13 year old was not the shooters daughter and she had four childen.
teach your daughters how to date; and teach them by your example.

[do the right thing]

you can also do your own background check on your partners or the partners that your children may be dating.
you can do a search for indiana prisoner locator and it will tell you if and how many times and for what they may have been arrested for.

danyelle not quite correct. we certainly can judge right from wrong. what that passage was dealing with was the hypocrisy of the religious leaders. jewish tradition has it that when christ knelt down and wrote on the ground that he may have written the sins of those condemning the women. the point is you cannot judge someone if you are guilty of the same thing; hypocrisy was jesus' point of the lesson not judging sin.

I just learned that April visited Carl at his house 12 hours before she died. His mother confirmed it becaused she was there. They chatted.

I got a real problem with this. No wonder he was tripping. She was giving him mixed-signals. Having being in this situation before, and I'm not violent, but I wanted to go off too on a less grander scale.

So who is really at fault here? The lady at the Julian Center said this a common thing that goes on in domestic violent cases (partners keeping in contact). Was April playing mind games and Carl had had enough?

Those of you who know what I mean can understand. Plus, Girlfriend had a man at home at the time. Sorry to say, Girlfriend brought this on herself.

Unfortunately this idiot did things backwards. Now there are 3 families mourning the loss of loved ones, and a 13 y/o girl who has just watched her mother be murdered.

[Pastor Davy Keen]

13 is a precious age. Grandmother and grandaughter we pray a special blessing in this case. Lord Jesus Come Quickly.

Now that the photos have been released, let the racial slurring begin.

What slurrring. It was black on black. White people had nothing to do with it. The residents of the inner city better look in the mirror. This is the table they have set for themselves. Drug thugs roam the streets and they all look the other way. They are afraid if they snitch, they will be killed. Guess what, they are getting killed anyway. So, you want to live in fear, it is your choice. Until some people grow a spine and say enough is enough, this is the acceptable behavior that will be tolerated. Apparently inner city people like living in the old west. Sort of reminds me of Deadwood. Only all the characters are black.

For all of you out there saying things could have been done, they were. I know restraining orders were taken out, he was taken to court but would never show, etc. He was just so malicious that nothing but locking him up and throwing away the key would keep him away. He stalked these women and knew there every move. Where were the police then?

Wow! Damned if you do damned if you don't, who pulled the trigger?

For every thug there are a dozen nerds, why do so many young women (young girls) choose the "badboy"? I am sad for this woman and her family, however, doing the math it is obvious she was lured into an attraction for the badboy at an early age, this unfortunately is what quite often becomes a tragic end.

The "system" is broken, the pop culture system is in favor of the "badboy", our media promotes this lifestyle as shique and exciting. Naturally then young girls flock to these thugs and as it seems it becomes a trap impossible to escape.

We should learn from this horrible experience. If we don't then it is what it is and our future is nothing more than the result of decisions we choose to make at an early age.
