Indy woman arrested for involuntary manslaughter following homicide inside apartment building on Mass Ave

INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis woman is in jail after being accused of killing a 65-year-old man inside his apartment on Mass Ave.

The fatal stabbing took place on the 14th floor inside the Barton Tower. The 65-year-old victim was found dead in his blood-splattered apartment in late September .

Police believe Forest Hill Jr. had been stabbed repeatedly, with one wound puncturing his heart.

The violent death has been hard on Hill’s family.

“I just work and go home and I think about my brother,” said the victim’s younger sister Sherrece Hill. “Now it seems like I don’t have anybody.”

This week, IMPD arrested 30-year-old Tationa Sims for involuntary manslaughter after video at the Barton Tower allegedly showed the suspect leave the victim’s apartment and put what appeared to be a knife in her backpack.

FOX59/CBS4 broke the news to Sherrece that an arrest had been made.

She admitted she was thrilled the suspect was arrested, but still frustrated Sims is only being held for involuntary manslaughter.
