Over the weekend Shelman’s life was cut short. State police say he died after a car crash near the intersection of 21st and Emerson.
INDIANAPOLIS -- An alarming trend is on the rise in the Hoosier state: People shooting others on the interstate.“I just miss my son man,” Anthony Shelman said. 30-year-old Anthony Shelman Jr. was one of the most recent. Police say Shelman Jr. was shot multiple times on I-70 before the crash.
“My son was a good person. I’m telling you. This crazy stuff that happened to him.. I just can’t believe it. I still haven’t slept yet,” Shelman Sr. said. State police say this is at least the 12th interstate shooting this year, in addition to 53 incidents that Indiana State Police have investigated where a gun was displayed or pointed but not fired since Jan 1.
Last year, 66 people were shot on interstates in central Indiana. Here are the numbers for the years prior:“His kids are everything to him. He’s putting their boots on the same way I taught him. He didn’t deserve this,” Shelman Sr. said.“I’m seeking justice. I want justice and I’m not going to stop until I find out who did this to my brother,” Laquala Beech Shelman Jr.’s sister said.
