GUNMAN NOT ZIMBABWEAN AFTER ALL.

The Indianapolis man who surrendered himself to the police for allegedly committing the New year 's first homicide was not a Zimbabwean after all. The man who appeared on the several news channels must have shocked Zimbabweans in Indianapolis since his name is Sunungura Rusununguko. A black man with a Shona name and surname would no doubt come from Zimbabwe. Not in this case. After an independent investigation I found out that the man was born and raised here in Marion county and has no ties completely with the above mentioned country.

It is confusing why an ex football player for the Indianapolis Fire birds without any criminal record would end up committing such an offense. The dread locked thirty year old man with two daughters had a long football career even though he was inactive because of injuries for some time. He was also honored as an MVP in college for an outstanding football career. Also a wrestling champion in Franklin Central High School. He later earned a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in social work from Ball State college.

It is said that he was born William Chelsey but his father decided to change his name to Rusunguko Sunungura after befriending a Zimbabwean man at college. Both names means freedom and liberty respectively in Shona. Police were on manhunt for the cold blooded murder who surrendered himself a few days later.He went on record as he committed the first homicide of the year on the New year's eve. The man is custody of the Indianapolis Metro Police Department. I just thought this might be of interest to Zimbabweans in Indy.
