The details surrounding this home invasion are brutal and horrific.   The national media will not report on it because they choose to avoid the uncomfortable reality behind the all too familiar profile…  So once again, the story remains local.

Indianapolis Metro Police arrested Alexander Dupree, 23, along with 18-year-old Trey Spells and 21-year-old Michael Pugh.

Dupree was taken into custody Wednesday and charged with rape, criminal confinement, criminal deviate conduct, and robbery.

“How dare you think you can merely kick in a door and just do heinous crimes in our community. It’s unacceptable,” said IMPD Chief Rick Hite.

Police believe Dupree, Spells and at least two others forced their way into the home near 79th and College, woke the family up at gunpoint, ransacked the house, forced victims to the ATM to withdraw money and sexually assaulted a mother and her daughter. The mother was shot in the leg and three vehicles were stolen from the home. (read more)
