INDIANAPOLIS — Just three days after he was murdered Saturday in downtown Indianapolis, Chris Beaty is being remembered with a mural at the spot where he died.
Artist Andrea Townsend did the work. "Such a tragic reason you do a portrait mural of someone," she said. "But I have to say I was blown away by the support and positivity from those who came by."
Beaty, who was 38, was shot to death at Vermont Street and Talbot Street late-Saturday, part of a violent night downtown following a day of protests. There has not been an announced arrest.
