Fort Wayne Police Officer Raquel Foster says its those types of people they need to help stop the violence.
"We always say it's a partnership. Your local law enforcement agency can not do it alone. We rely on the public to share information with us. When these shootings do occur we really want to take these
individuals off the street. Identify the suspect. Get them off the street."
As far as the shooting being the 20th one of the year, Foster says anytime someone is shot is concerning to the Fort Wayne police. The statistic isn't a spike from previous years and most of the victims are targeted.
