Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana allows Indianapolis residents to share anonymous tips with law enforcement.More than a year after Atlas Wedlow Jr. died after being beaten downtown, police have made an arrest in his killing.
Markeiss Armstrong, 39, is facing one charge of murder after court records say he encountered Wedlow downtown, grabbed a brick from the ground and beat him with it until he dropped. The arrest was announced Monday by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. On Sept. 21, 2021 shortly after 1:40 a.m. officers responded to a call about a person possibly shot near the intersection of North Pennsylvania and Ohio streets downtown.
