INDIANAPOLIS — The Ten-Point Coalition hopes to stop violence in Indianapolis by walking the streets at night where crime might happen. Coalition president Rev. Charles Harrison said the plan is showing results.Harrison reported six of the nine 'hot spots' patrolled by the coalition have not recorded a murder in 2024.'A lot of people feel like nothing can be done about the violence and that we can't save our young people,' Harrison said.
The coalition stepped in after 10-year-old De'Shaun Swanson was murdered on 39th and Graceland in 2015.Residents who moved in after the coalition's presence said they consider the neighborhood friendly and extremely safe.'It's quiet over here, it's really nice,' said Nathaniel Hopkins, who moved to the 3900 block of Boulevard Place last year. 'The neighbors are nice, everybody is nice around here. It's real pleasant.
