A FATHER’S OWN WORDS
I interviewed Jerry Hunt this morning. He was the father of Gina Hunt and grandfather of Jordan Hunt, two of the four victims of Indianapolis’ latest homicides in the 3200 block of North Hovey.
There is speculation the house Gina lived in was a drug house and the killings might have been drug-related. Hunt told me his daughter did have a problem with marijuana, but she was not a dealer. He also said he and his ex-wife made numerous attempts to get her to move out of the house and into a better life but were unsuccessful. His last conversation with Gina took place about 45 minutes before he found out she had been murdered.
He declined to answer specifics about the case, saying he did not want to compromise the police investigation. Hunt said he’s confident the killers will be caught and says the community needs to come together to make safer neighborhoods.
