Families sue Indianapolis after 2 police shooting deaths
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis city government is facing lawsuits from two families over separate incidents that left two men dead during traffic stops.
On Oct. 23, 2023, Darcel Edwards was shot after climbing into a tree. Edwards had run from police after being pulled over near 25th Street and Columbia Avenue.
His mother, Roselyn Edwards Rogers, said Thursday she misses her son every day. “He had a beautiful smile. He was a lovely father and a son.”
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department says Edwards put his hand in his pocket as officers asked him to come down from the tree.
Attorney Nathaniel Lee said Thursday that Edwards mental health issues when he encountered the police in 2023. “One of telltale sign was he said, ‘Call my mama!’ You’re not going to shoot someone who wants their mom to come to the scene.”
IMPD says Officer Gunnar Gossett fired because Edwards put his hands where the policeman couldn’t see them.
Lee is frustrated with how investigators handled the case. “Shortly after they killed the gentleman, they came out, cut the tree down and shredded the tree.”
On Nov. 17, 2023, Leandre Houston was shot by IMPD Officer Mitchell Farnsley. Houston was a passenger in the car driven by Demarcus Whitley.
Whitley was wanted on several firearms charges. Whitley surrendered but Houston ran from officers and was shot after leaping a fence.
Lee says the officer didn’t need to shoot Houston. “He’s behind the fence at the time, and his body camera was obscured by the fence, which tells you he’s not in danger of being shot.”
IMPD Police Chief Chris Bailey said several times that suspects make the officers jobs more difficult when they run from them.
But, Lee said, general distrust of police, especially in the African American communities, caused these men to fear for their lives. “We must have a standard where you can only shoot a suspect when your life is in danger, or someone else. That’s got to be the legal standard we adhere to, without that standard no one is safe.”
IMPD said it cannot comment on this case while it is pending in court.

Congress debates ending Daylight Saving Time
Senators are working around the clock on the issue of whether to end the twice-a-year time changes for Daylight Saving Time.
Fox – Seattle
Daylight saving time begins on Sunday, March 8, with clocks springing forward. This means people will lose an hour of sleep, but daylight hours also will increase in Indiana until the clock falls back again in early November.
Here’s what to know about daylight saving time in 2026, and sunrise and sunset times for the Indianapolis area.
What day does daylight saving time begin? When do clocks spring forward?
In the U.S., daylight saving time begins when clocks officially spring forward at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 8, 2026.
Do I gain or lose an hour of sleep for daylight saving time at 2 a.m. on March 8, 2026?
We lose an hour of sleep when the clocks “spring forward” at the start of daylight saving time. At 2 a.m., clocks are turned ahead by one hour.
In the fall, when DST ends, clocks “fall back” an hour in November, meaning you gain an hour of sleep.
What time will the sun rise in Indianapolis? What time will it set?
After clocks spring forward March 8, the sun will rise in Indianapolis at around 8:06 a.m., according to Time and Date, and set at roughly 7:44 p.m.
By the end of the month, Hoosiers in Central Indiana will see sunrise at 7:30 a.m. and sunset as late as 8:07 p.m.
When is the longest day of the year? Summer solstice 2026
The longest day of the year is the summer solstice, which happens Sunday, June 21, 2026. For Indianapolis, the sun will rise at roughly 6:16 a.m. and set at around 9:16 p.m., giving Hoosiers almost 15 hours of daylight.
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — After a day of record breaking temperatures in some locations, we will turn towards an active Saturday.
Friday night: Increasing clouds, mild, and humid. Lows in the mid 60s.
Saturday: Showers and storms expected Saturday morning into afternoon. Some activity could linger into the evening hours.
From about 6 AM to 12 PM, there will be a window for isolated stronger storm potential with wind and hail the main concerns.
Highs in the upper 60s with breezy winds gusting up to 25-30 MPH.
Sunday: Dry and cooler with some sunshine. Highs in the low 60s.
7-Day Forecast: Monday starts the new workweek off mainly dry with highs nearing back to 70 degrees. Renewed rain/storm chances arrive next Tuesday and Wednesday. Then, even cooler air looks to prevail by next Thursday.
