Sgt. Genae Cook of IMPD told News 8, “One thing I can say about it is the fact that our homicide detectives are staying focused. We don’t look at the numbers. We look at the people involved. We look at the victims and their families, and that’s where our focus is. That’s where our focus is going to remain. Our detectives do everything they can to give families answers to all the questions that go around the homicide. We want to maintain the focus on the families and that’s where we want to continue it.”
