Early
Monday, Police Sgt. Kendale Adams named the suspect as 18-year-old Larry
Taylor. He faces a preliminary charge of murder in the November 10 shooting.
Marion County prosecutors will decide upon a final charge.
Amanda Blackburn, who was married
to Resonate Church Pastor Davey Blackburn, was 12 weeks pregnant when she died.
The couple's 1-year-old son was
home when the shooting occurred, but was unharmed. Pastor Blackburn discovered
his wife after returning from the gym that morning, the couple's church said.
Amanda Blackburn was taken to
Indiana University Methodist Hospital in critical condition, where she later
died.
"My wife was such a
beautiful, gracious, loving woman of God," Davey Blackburn said in a
message to his congregation then. "I have not only lost my ministry
partner and support but also my very best friend, he said.
Blackburn
said he will take time to grieve and focus on his young son, all the while
remaining optimistic.
"I hold firm to the belief
that God is still good, that he takes our tragedy and turns it into triumph,
and that the best truly is yet to come,” Blackburn reaffirm.
