Indianapolis teen charged with 6 counts of murder in slaying of family, pregnant woman

A 17-year-old boy accused of fatally shooting his father, stepmother, two teenage relatives and a 19-year-old pregnant woman in the family’s Indianapolis home has been charged with six counts of murder in connection with the slayings, prosecutors announced Thursday.

Raymond Ronald Lee Childs III, who was arrested Monday, was charged as an adult with six counts of murder, including one count for the death of the woman’s unborn child, Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears announced at a news conference. The baby had been due to be born in one week, Mears said.

Childs also faces an attempted murder charge in the wounding of another relative, a male juvenile who was the sole survivor of Sunday’s shooting at the family’s home on Indianapolis’ near northeast side, authorities said. He was also charged with one count of carrying a handgun without a license.
