The crimes are pretty easy to categorize. They either involve Black teenagers/young men, the drug trade, or both. Unfortunately innocent people (like a new father living on the westside gunned down during a robbery or the mother/daughter killed by a brick in one of the suburban cities) are involved from time to time but that is not the norm.
Just this morning someone took potshots at an unmarked police car and another guy shot an Indy cop before killing 2 women and himself.
