    We now know the charges filed against a teenager accused in the fatal crash that tragically took the life of Mason Alexander, a recent graduate of Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) High School. The heartbreaking incident has left a community mourning the untimely loss of a young man described by many as kind, full of potential, and deeply loved by his family and friends.

    The Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed that it is formally seeking to have the juvenile suspect’s case waived to adult court. While the teen’s identity and specific details of the case remain confidential due to the defendant’s age, this move signals the severity with which authorities are treating the case. The suspect remains in secure juvenile detention as the legal process unfolds.

    Prosecutors have announced that they are pursuing three significant charges:

    • Reckless Homicide, classified as a Level 5 felony under Indiana law, indicating that the teen’s alleged actions resulted in a death caused by recklessness rather than intent.
    • Reckless Driving, a Class A misdemeanor, suggesting dangerous behavior behind the wheel that posed a substantial risk to others on the road.
    • False Government Identification, also a Class A misdemeanor, implying that the teen may have been in possession of or used a fraudulent ID, which could have implications related to the circumstances leading up to the crash.

    In a public statement, the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office expressed deep sympathy for the victim’s family and the broader community affected by Mason’s loss:

    “Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Mason Alexander. This is an unimaginable loss, and we extend our deepest condolences to everyone who knew and loved him.
    As prosecutors, we are committed to seeking justice in a way that honors Mason’s life and respects the seriousness of this tragedy.
    This matter remains under active investigation. No further details will be released at this time due to this still being a juvenile matter.”

    Mason Alexander’s death has prompted an outpouring of grief and remembrance. Vigils, social media tributes, and memorial services have been held in his honor, with classmates, teachers, and community members sharing stories of his vibrant personality and the positive impact he had on those around him.

    As the legal proceedings move forward and the waiver request is reviewed by the court, more details may become available regarding the crash and the events that led up to it. For now, the community remains united in mourning, seeking both healing and accountability in the wake of this devastating event.

    TRAGIC: Her Boyfriend Unalived Her and Buried Her in the Backyard – New Orleans Community in Shock The New Orleans community is grappling with a horrific and heartbreaking tragedy after the life of 24-year-old Essence was cut short in an act of unimaginable violence. According to police, Essence was fatally shot by her boyfriend, Benjamin Camp, who later confessed to the crime and led authorities to the location of her body—buried in the backyard of their shared home on Marigny Street. The New Orleans Police Department reported that Camp, 28, called authorities on the morning of the incident and told them he had killed his girlfriend. Officers responded immediately to the residence in the 2300 block of Marigny Street, where they encountered Camp and took him into custody without incident. He reportedly remained at the scene, awaiting their arrival. What they uncovered next shook even seasoned investigators. Police were directed to a freshly disturbed area in the backyard, where they discovered Essence’s body—wrapped and hastily buried in a shallow grave. Detectives and crime scene units secured the scene and began the difficult work of collecting evidence and piecing together the tragic timeline of events. A Life Stolen Too Soon Essence was remembered by those who knew her as a bright, spirited young woman with a radiant smile and a kind heart. Friends and family say she had dreams of advancing her education and eventually working in a profession that would allow her to help others. She loved music, poetry, and her family deeply. She had recently been exploring new opportunities and trying to create a more stable and fulfilling life for herself. Loved ones say they never could have imagined that the relationship she was in would end in such devastating violence. “She was trying to find herself, and she was growing into a beautiful woman,” said one family member. “We never expected this. We never thought he would do something like this.” The Alleged Killer: Benjamin Camp Benjamin Camp is now facing second-degree murder charges in connection to Essence’s death. Police have not yet revealed a motive, but sources close to the investigation say there were possible signs of a troubled relationship, though no prior domestic violence reports have been made public as of yet. Authorities confirmed that Camp confessed to the killing during the 911 call and provided the location of the body, though they are continuing to gather evidence and speak with witnesses to fully understand the sequence of events that led to the fatal shooting. He remains in custody without bond at the Orleans Justice Center. A Community Demanding Justice As news of the tragedy spread, heartbreak and anger swept through the neighborhood and beyond. Residents gathered outside the home in quiet solidarity, leaving flowers, candles, and handwritten messages at a makeshift memorial near the fence where police marked off the scene. “We want justice for Essence,” said a neighbor. “No one deserves to die like that. She had her whole life ahead of her.” Local advocacy groups have also spoken out, calling for increased awareness around domestic violence and more support for young women in vulnerable relationships. “This is a reminder that behind closed doors, many women suffer in silence,” said one advocate. “Essence’s story is painful, but it cannot be ignored.” Ongoing Investigation The New Orleans Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances leading up to the homicide. They have asked anyone with additional information about the case or the couple’s history to come forward. Essence’s body has been transported to the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office, where an autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause and time of death. While her physical presence is gone, her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her—and in a community shaken by her tragic and senseless loss. ⸻ If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please know help is available.
