“If this woman had had a concealed weapons permit and a firearm, this would not have happened. That’s why I advocate for people getting them.”

Nice to see the sheriff wanting people to protect themselves.

What an horrific crime. If she were armed the outcome could have been different and quite excellent.

Pictures of the victim and the perp. About what you would expect, a priori.

"Around 1:15 p.m., Melton’s grandmother contacted Chesterfield County sheriff’s deputies to report that Melton had called her to tell her she was frightened by a man who was following her. "

If someone is following you, don't call grandma. What's grannie going to do? Call 911 and then pull over. When the nice man with the baseball bat knocks your window out and starts to grab you - empty the .38 special in his face and torso area.

Melton’s grandmother contacted Chesterfield County sheriff’s deputies to report that Melton had called her to tell her she was frightened by a man who was following her.

Since she had no firearm, why would she call her grandmother instead of driving to the police station and go in to report the harassment? I'm sure they'd be willing to help in some way.

Why wait for a trial. Just kill’em and throw him out back.

Ten minutes in his cell and me and my buddy armed with baseball bats would ensure there would be no need for an attorney or trial...just bring up in the hazmet team to do the cleanup.

It pains me to no end when these guys get arrested, what happened to curbside justice.

Another time I was at a city bureau for something and was behind a black man and his little son who was staring at me. I said “hi” and smiled at the little boy who said nothing back to me. His father turned around, looked at the child, looked at me and said “He has to put up with Caucasians at school.”

I was dumfounded.

A teachable moment right now. Okay, the god sheriff encourages you to arms, and hw many of you are sitting here right now, in your home, at the office etc unarmed?

Come on now folks, bad things happen to people who aren’t prepared for such “abbe rations”. Let me remind you here and now; these ain’t abbe rations, these things happen all the time, to everyone of whatever color, by anyone of whatever color.

It ain’t paranoia IF indeed someone is out to get you, history proves that this is true.

Why wait, get your CCW permit (if req’d), a fighting handgun, some books and most of all, professional training to better be prepared for when death comes knocking, then carry it at every opportunity. (Note, I am home today, laying tile for the Mrs. A Christmas gift, and yet, while waiting for a batch of thin set to hydrate, I am fully prepared- yes, my Glock may have mortar on it. It will still go bang. House alarm on immediate, doors secured, video recording, I call it my insurance policy.)

Who you gonna call? When? Bet it won’t help much.

Beaten to death with a baseball bat. Anyone that has seen the last 10 minutes of the movie Casino knows how horribly brutal that is. Poor woman. God bless her soul.

Many people here in Indianapolis are comparing this murder to the events at a local Kroger grocery. Local thug just out of jail for armed robbery after serving 25% of the sentence puts a 'hard object' (everyone thinks a gun) to a female cashier's back. He takes her to the manager's office where the manager puts a bullet in thug's face. Thug dies hours later.

What a sad story - wonder why she did not call 911 when being followed. So many sick twisted people out there. What drives someone to do such a brutal thing. Lay those tile straight as you shoot
