So far, Wawa has more than 16 sites under contract across Clark, Dearborn, Delaware,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Madison, Marion and Wayne Counties. These projected stores are currently making their way through the permitting and approval process, and Wawa will announce specific locations and estimated timing for the first store openings in the state once these processes are complete. The first store locations are projected to open by mid-2025, with plans to open up to 10 locations that year, 10 additional stores in 2026 and 5 stores each year thereafter. Wawa teams continue to look for sites throughout the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Details on Wawa\u2019s growth plans for the Indiana market were announced at a Community Partnership event on September 28 in Indianapolis at the NCAA Headquarters and Museum. These events officially introduced Wawa to the community and allowed Wawaleaders to connect with hundreds of new friends, neighbors and VIP customers, as well as local officials and partners. In addition, attendees received a glimpse of new store design renderings and had the opportunity to hear about the Wawa story, Wawa\u2019s unique offering and Wawa\u2019s commitment to its new Midwest region communities, including new partnerships and community support of local organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wawa also announced contributions to regional community partners: Riley Children\u2019s Hospital and Gleaners Food Bank, with contributions totaling $10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Winning Powerball tickets sold in Indiana<br><\/strong>Hoosiers might want to double check their lottery tickets, as 2 high-stake tickets were recently sold in Indiana. A $2 million and a $50 thousand winning ticket were sold for Saturday&#8217;s Powerball drawing. The tickets were purchased at a convenience store located at 5106 N Michigan Rd in Indianapolis, and another at 7277 Taft St. in Merrillville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday\u2019s winning Powerball numbers were 19-30-37-44-46 with a Powerball of 22, with no jackpot winner of the estimated 1 billion prize. winners can contact Hoosier Lottery customer service at 1-800-955-6886.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office targets straw purchasers of firearms, including man wo illegally purchased the handgun used to kill 6 year-old Chicago girl<\/strong><br>Eric Lamar Keys, Jr., 25, of Indianapolis, Indiana, has been sentenced for making a false statement during the purchase of a firearm. He is the latest of several defendants to be federally prosecuted for gun trafficking offenses as the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office partners with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, and other federal, state, and local law enforcement partners, to target illegal sources of guns used in crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to court documents, on April 18, 2021, Chicago Police Department Officers were dispatched to a report of shots fired in the parking lot of a McDonald\u2019s restaurant. When they arrived, they found one man shot in the stomach and a 6-year-old girl who had been shot and killed. The suspect in the shooting was ultimately arrested by law enforcement officers and found to be in possession of multiple guns. A ballistics analysis later confirmed that one of the guns, a Glock .40 caliber pistol, was used to murder the 6-year-old girl. That gun was purchased by Eric Lamar Keys in Indiana 48 days before it was used to shoot and kill the little girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investigation by the ATF found that on February 21, 2021, Keys purchased a Taurus 9mm pistol from a federally licensed firearms dealer in Indianapolis, Indiana. Keys intentionally made a false statement by declaring on a required federal firearms purchase form that he was the actual buyer of the firearm, when in fact, he intended to purchase it for an individual prohibited by law from possessing a firearm in return for $750.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This form of gun trafficking is frequently referred to as \u201cstraw purchasing.\u201d Straw purchasing occurs when a person who is allowed to legally purchase a gun from a federally licensed dealer falsely states that they are purchasing a firearm for themselves, when they know that the gun is actually intended for someone else\u2014frequently someone who is legally prohibited from making the purchase themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sentencing comes on the tail-end of a series of similar straw purchasing cases prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Southern District of Indiana within the last year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Defendant<\/td><td><strong>Charge(s)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Sentence<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Abdul Hadi, 34, Toronto, Canada<\/strong><\/td><td>Carrying a Firearm During and in Relation to a Drug Trafficking Crime<\/td><td>6.5 years\u2019 imprisonment, 2 years supervised release, $500 fine.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Amru Hasani, 34, Indianapolis<\/strong><\/td><td>Aiding and Abetting the Making of a False Statement during the Purchase of a Firearm<\/td><td>2.5 years\u2019 imprisonment, 2 years supervised release, $500 fine.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Stephen King, 67, Indianapolis<\/strong><\/td><td>Dealing Firearms without a License<\/td><td>18 months\u2019 imprisonment, 2 years supervised release.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Ryan White, 21, Indianapolis<\/strong><\/td><td>Dealing Firearms without a License<\/td><td>18 months\u2019 imprisonment, 2 years supervised release.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Xavier Wilson, 24, Otterbein, IN<\/strong><\/td><td>Making a False Statement During Purchase of a Firearm<\/td><td>18 months\u2019 imprisonment, 3 years supervised release.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tashia Overton, 23, Indianapolis<\/strong><\/td><td>Making a False Statement During Purchase of a Firearm<\/td><td>15 months imprisonment, 2 years supervised release, $250 fine.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Traven Armstrong, 26, Indianapolis<\/strong><\/td><td>Making a False Statement During Purchase of a Firearm<\/td><td>1 year and 1 day imprisonment, 3 years supervised release, $500 fine<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>DeAngelo Carnell, 25, Indianapolis<\/strong><\/td><td>6 counts of Making a&nbsp;False Statement in Connection with the Acquisition of a Firearm and 1 count of Dealing in Firearms without a Federal License<\/td><td>1 year and 1 day imprisonment, 3 years supervised release, $500 fine.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Ariel Campbell, 28, Bloomington<\/strong><\/td><td>Making a False Statement During Purchase of a Firearm<\/td><td>10 months\u2019 imprisonment, 3 years supervised release, $250 fine.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Kwamay Armstrong, 31, Indianapolis<\/strong><\/td><td>Making a False Statement During Purchase of a Firearm<\/td><td>3 months\u2019 imprisonment, 2 years supervised release, $250 fine<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Jayte Davis, 24, Indianapolis<\/strong><\/td><td>Making a False Statement During Purchase of a Firearm<\/td><td>3 months\u2019 imprisonment, 2&nbsp;years supervised release, $1000 fine.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Jordan Henry, 24, Indianapolis<\/strong><\/td><td>Making a False Statement During Purchase of a Firearm<\/td><td>3 months\u2019 imprisonment, 3 months supervised release<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Sierra<\/strong><strong>Vasquez, 27, Indianapolis<\/strong><\/td><td>Making a False Statement During Purchase of a Firearm<\/td><td>11 months served, 3 years supervised release, $500 fine.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Victor Anderson, 26, Indianapolis<\/strong><\/td><td>Making a False Statement During Purchase of a Firearm<\/td><td>5 days served; 2 years supervised release, $1000 fine.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Stephany Irby, 28.
