   Four teens were charged with murder Wednesday in connection to a   
   fatal shooting that left three young men and a young woman dead   
   in an Indiana apartment earlier this month.   
      
   The four male suspects, three of them 19 and one 17-year-old,   
   are facing multiple counts of murder and robbery resulting in   
   serious bodily injury for their alleged role in a Feb. 5   
   shooting in Indianapolis, Ind.   
      
   Cameron Banks, 19; Lesean Watkins, 19; Rodreice Anderson, 19,   
   and Desmond Banks, 17, were scheduled for initial hearings   
   Thursday afternoon. Desmond Banks, Cameron’s younger brother,   
   has been charged as an adult, Marion County prosecutors said.   
      
   The victims have been identified as Jalen Roberts, 19; Marcel   
   Wills, 20; Braxton Ford, 21, and Kimari Hunt, 21. It is the   
   city’s first quadruple homicide since 2015.   
      
   “I want to applaud the quick action and thoughtful investigatory   
   work of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department [IMPD],   
   as well as the cooperation and collaboration of community   
   members," Mayor Joe Hogsett said in a statement. "While nothing   
   can bring back the four young people whose lives were cut much   
   too short by senseless violence, these charges serve as a   
   meaningful step toward delivering justice to the impacted   
   families."   
      
   Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears emphasized the importance of   
   community tips in solving the case. A witness noticed a   
   shattered apartment patio door at the scene of the crime and   
   thought it had possibly been shot out. The witness called the   
   police and told them “subjects” were seen fleeing the scene. The   
   caller provided a vehicle description and investigators   
   identified the vehicle on surveillance video, according to the   
   affidavit.   
      
   Officers found the four victims inside the ransacked apartment.   
   Drawers were pulled from dressers and an empty safe with a key   
   still inside was found in the closet. Two guns were also   
   missing, the affidavit stated.   
      
   After the witness told investigators the vehicle was a gold '88   
   Oldsmobile, they were able to find the license plate through   
   surveillance footage and police determined the vehicle was   
   registered to Anderson. Another witness who knew the men was   
   able to identify the other four, according to The Indianapolis   
   Star.   
      
   When questioned about the fatal night, Anderson initially denied   
   any involvement and said he had been doing laundry at his   
   father’s house at that time. He said his car might have been   
   stolen and brought back without him realizing it. He told   
   investigators he was finished talking.   
      
   Later, Anderson asked a detective: “So, you aren't going to come   
   back in here and talk to me?" The detective asked Anderson what   
   he wanted to say, and Anderson admitted to driving the getaway   
   vehicle that night, according to court documents.   
      
   Anderson told police he picked up “Dez, Sean and Cameron," and   
   said the teens discussed committing a robbery that night. They   
   contacted someone inside the home to buy marijuana and decided   
   Anderson would be the getaway driver.   
      
   Anderson said all three suspects who entered the apartment were   
   armed. He said he heard “a lot of gunshots” before the suspects   
   ran back to the car carrying duffel bags and other stolen items.   
      
   "It breaks your heart to see four young people who lost their   
   lives over essentially nothing. And on the other side of the   
   table you have individuals who are now charged with multiple   
   counts of murder," Mears said.   
      
   He added: "If they are convicted, we're not talking about   
   decades. We’re talking centuries."
