An Indianapolis mother was shot and killed along the canal early Sunday, marking the second homicide on the canal in a week.

According to the victim’s family, the shooting started with an argument over Black Lives Matter and language. Eventually the two sides separated and walked away from each other, until witnesses claim the killer opened fire from a nearby bridge and ran away.

“It was squashed and they went up the hill and left we thought, but they were sitting on St. Claire waiting for us to come under the bridge and that’s when she got shot,” said the victim’s fiancé Jose Ramirez.

Jose admits he returned fire, but didn’t hit anyone. He says Jessica Doty Whitaker leaves behind a little boy.

“She shouldn’t have lost her life. She’s got a 3-year-old son she loved dearly,” said Ramirez.

Explaining to Jessica’s son Greyson that he’ll never see his mom again has been the hardest part for the family.

“It’s hard to tell him his mom is in heaven and if you want to talk to her you have to look up and say, ‘I love you mom,’” said Ramirez.

“Our message is that the canal is still a safe to go,” said IMPD Capt. Jerry Leary.

The IMPD partners with Indiana State Police, the parks department and the Department of Metropolitan Development to patrol different areas along the canal.

Police have added security cameras and will increase patrols especially during the overnight hours.

“Just recently the DMD is hiring two overtime officers to work the canal during those times nightly,” said Leary. “A combination of all those efforts we hope is going to make a difference and it can’t help to.”

So far police have not released any suspect information.

Another tard who needs a gun to win an argument.

This one pisses me off something bad for some reason. It could happen to anyone, more than most. Maybe that's why it hits close.

I actually think there is more to this story that has yet to come out.

Not excusing the actions of anyone but I think there is more to the story
According to Ramirez, he and the victim and two other people were hanging out along the canal when someone in their group used a slang version of the N-word.

That word prompted a confrontation by a group of strangers.

During a brief argument, Ramirez claims the suspect’s group shouted Black Lives Matter and either Whitaker or someone in her group replied that All Lives Matter.

Eventually the two sides separated because they realized they were both armed. The groups then fist bumped and walked away from each other.


However, minutes later Ramirez claims the killer opened fire from a nearby bridge and ran away.


It is never okay for Whites or Latinos to use the word period.

Ooooo, indeed. Don't get stupid, it's a costly move. Still doesn't excuse murder. But yeah, very foolish.
 
Marks tbe second killing there in a week.

I remember being a young, bad PP and having sex on that canal while the sun rose. Good times



Damn what he do?

Yeah this changes the situation quite a bit.
Disagreement about political views would be my guess.

From July 5, 2022

It’s been two years since Jessica Doty-Whitaker was killed in a shooting along downtown Indianapolis’ canal. What happened to her that night and in the aftermath was not fair, her father says.
“It's like something has been totally missing in our lives,” said Robert Doty Sr. “Having to look at her little boy and know that he will never have his mom back... that's how it has been.”

The 24-year-old's death on July 5, 2020, garnered international attention as her fiancé said the violence was sparked by the utterance of a racial slur and a disagreement over the statements “Black lives matter” and “all lives matter.”
A rally to bring attention to the fatal shooting was organized by Mark J. Powell, a Lutheran pastor who was defeated in the Democratic primary election for Indiana's 9th Congressional District about a month prior to the shooting.

Powell formed a group called "God Says All Lives Matter" in response to Doty-Whitaker's death and had previously spoken out against Black Lives Matter.
The woman's father and other family members wanted to bring attention to Doty-Whitaker's death in hopes someone would provide information on who killed her, Doty Sr. said, adding he didn't like how the case became connected to the larger narrative around race at the time.
“It was rude and upsetting,” Doty Sr. said. “They were taking something that was terrible and making it even worse. We were just trying to grieve and get the word out there about her killing."

Online threats were made against Doty-Whitaker's family members after her death, including her then-three-year-old son, her father said.
Arlena Doty, Doty-Whitaker's mother, reached a point where she could no longer speak with reporters about what happened.

"It turned all political and all about race," Arlena Doty said. "My daughter was neither of those things. She was not a political person and she didn't care what color you were."

Doty Sr. reached a similar point and he didn't attend the rally organized by Powell.

“I wanted to distance myself from all of it,” Doty Sr. said. “I didn't want to deal with it anymore, I wanted to deal with it in my own way. People were trying to tell me how to deal with it."
Jose Ramirez, Doty-Whitaker’s fiancé, told Fox59 that he and his future wife were hanging out with two other people on the canal. He said someone in their group used a slang version of the N-word, which prompted a confrontation with a group of strangers.
Ramirez claims that the people who confronted them shouted "Black lives matter" during the argument. In response, either Doty-Whitaker or someone in her group replied by saying "all lives matter."

Ramirez said in the Fox59 interview the two groups separated because they realized people in each group were armed. He said both groups then fist-bumped and went their separate ways.

But someone opened fire from a nearby bridge and struck Doty-Whitaker, Ramirez said. He said the shooters then ran away. Ramirez said he fired back but did not hit anyone.

Unless someone at the scene is arrested for another crime and wants to get out of it this case will probably never be solved.
