Inquiries into Inmate Death, Local Weather Hazards, and Political Campaigns in Fort Wayne;

[AI-Generated Summary] This news broadcast covers several major developments in the Fort Wayne, Indiana region. Community groups—including the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, the NAACP, and the Civil Rights Commission—call for independent investigations into the death of inmate Calvin Perry, expressing strong skepticism that his death was a suicide. The broadcast then transitions to local weather reporting on rising river levels and ice jams causing potential flooding in northeastern Indiana and northwestern Ohio. Additional coverage highlights local governance and economic initiatives, including a proposed $23 million downtown retail development called "The Courtyards," legislative debates over the Fort Wayne Parks Department and a "Faith Assembly" bill, last-minute tax filers on deadline day alongside Libertarian Party tax protests, and a presidential campaign stop in Gary, Indiana by Democratic candidate Senator Gary Hart.
