(Richmond, IN)--As the search continues for the shooter in a teen’s murder last month and as another victim of a different teen shooting continues to recover, Richmond Mayor Ron Oler has issued a statement to the community. In it, Oler said that he has full confidence in the Richmond Police Department, but believes that preventing youth violence begins at home with parental involvement, guidance, and accountability. Oler also said that he recognizes that not every young person has the benefit of a stable home and calls for others in the community to provide positive influences.
