A 24-year-old man, shot dead during an early morning walk in Indianapolis on Tuesday, had been excitedly awaiting the arrival of his first baby.

Nathan Trapuzzano was shot in the stomach during what police believe was an attempted mugging outside a tire shop at 5.50am.

As police intensified their search for two suspects, seen on security camera footage running from the scene, it was revealed that Mr Trapuzzano's wife, Jennifer, is due to have a baby girl next month.

Mr Trapuzzano, a computer programmer for Ivy Tech Community College, was found injured outside the Tron Tire Shop, Fox 59 reported.

Police believe he was shot during a struggle with a would-be mugger, while another man acted as a lookout. He died at hospital a couple of hours later.

The victim had been due to celebrate the birth of a baby girl, who the couple had planned to name Cecelia, and his first wedding anniversary next month.

An iPhone is at east 100 times better.

Any $100 point and shoot camera produces better low-light resolution video than what was shown in the article.

There is more money and less risk in shaking down old people than apprehending murderers. It is what third world countries do when the coffers are empty.

You’re correct of course.
Same reason most LEOs on the street are working on traffic tickets instead of drugs, assault, and murder.

“His name is Italian.”

Do you think a street thug at 6 a.m. can tell the difference between an Italian and Hispanic?

I live two miles from where that poor lady and her daughter were killed in Westfield. That gutter trash in Indianapolis is creeping out to the other cities too like Avon, Brownsburg, Greenfield...

And they want to put in a mass-transit system for the urbanites to move around Marion and the donut counties. No way!

>We have the death penalty here, hope they use it.

Too easy. Life in solitary, no visitors, one slop meal a day, no showers. Cold turkey.

What isn't mentioned here is that the victim served as a Pro Life sidewalk counselor at a local abortion clinic.

This might not be a random murder.

"Too easy. Life in solitary, no visitors, one slop meal a day, no showers. Cold turkey."

I agree completely, but that is considered cruel and unusual so they have to get 3 hots, access to the library, people to interact with, the works no matter what they are put in for or how long.

Personally I want after the second appeal, if they lose to a full count, to be led out behind the courthouse and Dance the Danny Deever for anyone who wants to watch, but that's just me.

I guess our undeserved reputation proceeds us down here in Martintucky for something, they don’t come this way too often.

Yutes being yutes. These low life creatures are OBSOLETE and have absolutely no place in modern society (other than voting for the DemocRATS who created and sustain them).

They need to be removed from society. Folks need to arm themselves and train in gunfight tactics. Then “dispatch” the involved yute or yutes if this happens to them.

This made the local Pittsburgh media, as the victim was a graduate of North Allegheny HS:

Someone whose parents were stupid enough to name him "Simeon Adams." I am not kidding. Pronounced "simian," according to the black lady on my local (Pittsburgh, PA) news.

She probably named him after one of the Biblical Simeons.
