INDIANAPOLIS — A city program is helping mentors reach gunshot victims before they return to the cycle of violence.The Indy Peace Fellowship's goal is to stop gun violence and place coaches with those who are at the highest risk of being shot or the ones behind the gun. It partners one of 14 mentors with gunshot victims at IU Methodist. 'I wanted to mentor growing up and nobody would listen to me,' said Ty'trell Averitte-Bass.
' It's a lifestyle he said he wanted out of and instead of returning to the cycle, Mallory stepped in as his life coach.The pairing was thanks to the program and has brought the two close together. The bond between the two goes deep and Mallory can connect because it was a life he used to live.'Whether it be drugs or guns, I pretty much flew under that plateau,' said Mallory.
