This article is from an actual source, not a spinmeister. Both groups were armed, both groups were talking shite and a woman got killed because of it. She didn't deserve to die. The rest of them shouldn't have resorted to gunfire over a verbal altercation.
"While details from police have been scant, Doty-Whitaker’s family has made statements to the media detailing their account of the lead up to the shooting.
Jose Ramirez, Doty-Whitaker’s fiancé,
told Fox59 that he and his future wife were hanging out with two other people on the canal. He said someone in their group used a slang version of the N-word, which prompted a confrontation with a group of strangers.
Ramirez claims that the people who confronted them shouted "Black lives matter" during the argument. In response, either Doty-Whitaker or someone in her group replied by saying "all lives matter."
Ramirez said in the Fox59 interview the two groups separated because they realized people in each group were armed. He said both groups then fist-bumped and went their separate ways. But someone opened fire from a nearby bridge and struck Doty-Whitaker, Ramirez said. He said the shooters then ran away. Ramirez said he fired back but did not hit anyone.
When contacted by IndyStar, members of Doty-Whitaker's family declined interview requests.
Indianapolis police have not commented on or confirmed this version of events.
