INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Nov. 20, 2014)– Charges will be filed in the case of a 15-year-old girl who was murdered this summer.

Police say she was driven to an abandoned home at 10th and Lynn streets where she was strangled. She was then set on fire behind a home in the 1100 block of Elder Avenue.
Her family and the community have been demanding justice.
