| Several of these billboard pleas for justice can be seen around town. |
Today's dispatch is a follow-up of sorts to a post from December 2023 about the extra-judicial killing of 20-year-old DaChe'na Warren-Hill by Fort Wayne police officer Mark A. Guzman.
According to a local news report, now that the FWPD and Indiana State Police have completed their investigations into Ms. Warren-Hill's killing, Allen County Prosecutor Michael McAlexander's office will conduct an additional investigation.
In other words, now that the city cops and state cops have finished stonewalling, the prosecutor's office—the best friend law enforcement ever had—will sweep the whole thing under the rug.
McAlexander doesn't like charging cops even when the evidence clearly points towards negligence (see Dispatch #246), so I'm not hopeful that DaChe'na Warren-Hill's family will ever see justice done, despite the recent billboards around town demanding just that—making an already tragic situation even worse.
As I've said before, it's long past time for a citizens review board in the city of Fort Wayne. If local law enforcement continues to demonstrate they cannot adequately police themselves (and the Allen County Prosecutor continues to turn a blind eye to the issue) then Summit City residents need to get organized and demand a change.
There's more to come in the next dispatch.
