Indy Honey Trap Faces Judge!

An Indiana man loses his life to a honey trap.

A 19 year old teen and her 18 year old boyfriend set up a man and killed him. 

Gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.

Now the Marion County Prosecutor want to put them in the iron college for life.

It happened in January when Alexis Hawkins and Brian Winston, Jr. robbed and murdered Jarrell Pryor. Prayor a single father who did not cause any trouble wanted to date Hawkins.

Hawkins arranged for this hit. She told Winston what they were doing and the shooter ambushed them. An altercation led to the shooting.

Detectives found Instagram messages between Hawkins and Pryor leading up to his fatal shooting in the early morning hours of Jan. 25.

Hawkins was arrested and charged with murder and robbery, but it would be other messages detectives found that would lead to another arrest.

Hours before she and Pryor orchestrated a late-night date, she was messaging another man.

“Been trynna find sum licks if you need me to rob anybody down here," she texted, according to court documents.

Now, that teen she was messaging has also been arrested for his alleged role in the shooting death of Pryor.

An 18 year old was arrested and preliminarily charged with two counts of murder and two counts of robbery. 

She wanted to be a thirst trap. Instead she became a honey trap and now a murderer.

After the 1:15 a.m. shooting was reported, detectives found text messages between Hawkins and the man around 5:20 a.m. where Hawkins told him she was home. He tells her "Don't say too much," and, "Delete these messages too by the way," according to court documents.

Detectives began watching Winston and on Feb. 11, they knocked on his northside apartment door. He opened the door, saw the police, and shut it. He finally came back out and was placed into custody while a search warrant for the apartment was granted.

While being interviewed by detective Katie Gourley, the man said he was dating multiple females including Hawkins, and was in an open relationship.

Winston was allegedly a pimp.

According to court documents, their relationship became rocky in January. He got upset because she was on her phone, texting the whole time and not paying attention to him, so he told her he was going to leave.

According to him, Hawkins told him if he left, she was going to go out with someone else.

He said, “Alright, bet, I’m gonna leave and we gonna see if you go with somebody else" and he left.

A search warrant for Hawkins's phone revealed a conversation permanently deleted between her and Winston, which appears to be a planned robbery around the same time that Hawkins was meeting Pryor.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives.

Winston was the gunman. Hawkins was the bait. They both were equally charged.

There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. 

Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assumes the gunmen are Black.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican legislators who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. 

She told him to hit a lick. Now these two will face LIFE if convicted of murder.

The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence. We are tracking police violence and school shootings as well.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police. 

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-Semitic or in support of terrorism. 

We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and legislators avoid influence from lobbyists.
