Jessica Doty Whitaker, 24, was shot dead when she was ambushed following a heated discussion with Black Lives Matter supporters where she allegedly told them “all lives matter” as the two groups hotly debated language around the movement.
After the argument was broken up, Whitaker left the scene with her group witnesses claimed, according to Fox59.
However, the other group waited for them to pass by the canal bridge, where they launched their deadly attack.
And now, local artists came together to celebrate the Black Lives Matter movement with a mural to bring a message of hope and equality.
Speaking about the mural, community organizer Alan Bacon said: “It’s motivation, I mean it’s a message that really speaks to unity. You know, having a message painted on one of the most historical streets in Indianapolis—Indiana Avenue—so there’s a history component to what we’re trying to accomplish as well.”
Fox59, in another piece, went onto report that Bacon added: “We’re out here trying to spread the message of love and equality.”
Despite the message of “love and equality,” the mural was set to remain extremely close to where the young mother was mercilessly ambushed and gunned down following an argument with BLM supporters.
