INDIANAPOLIS -- One day after a 15-year-old boy was arrested in connection with a triple homicide, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Chief Bryan Roach and leaders from the community joined together to plead for the violence to stop.
"This suspect is not an island," former Deputy Mayor Olgen Williams said. "He has friends. Everybody knows who those friends are."
The triple homicide happened around 6 p.m. Sunday in the 7800 block of Somerset Bay.
Police found three men with gunshot wounds inside an apartment. All three were pronounced dead on the scene. They have been identified as Dominique Miller, 25, Jordan Wright, 25, and Justin Crowder, 19.

Williams also asked for anybody who knows anything to turn the information over to police.
"We have to work together to bring peace in the streets," Williams said. "Somebody said, 'Aren't you tired of this?' I've been tired since the first homicide where I saw a young man lying in an alley shot. I've been tired over 25 years. I'm still tired."
Roach said the investigation is ongoing, but police don't believe the 15-year-old suspect was acting alone.
