INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis family and friends are searching for answers after police say a man was intentionally run over outside of a west side bar over the weekend.
“He is a brother, he is a friend, he is a son, he is a cousin, and he is an uncle. A lot of people’s lives are changed by this,” Keirsten Puckett said.
Puckett said she considered Perry Banks to be family, having known him for more than a decade.
Provided by family “He was selfless, he would give you the shirt of his back,” Puckett said.
Police say a man was involved in an altercation at the Checkered Flag Tavern, located at 5725 W Morris St. Investigators say the suspect was asked to leave the bar, got into an SUV and drove into a crowd gathered in the parking lot, and drove away.
Officers call it a homicide, but they do not believe Banks was the intended target.
WRTV “I want to speak out to all of the city: people are getting killed for no reason, people are taking the law into their own hands, stop, it’s not worth it,” Puckett told WRTV.
