Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana allows Indianapolis residents to share anonymous tips with law enforcement.After crossing paths at Ball State University and striking a friendship, Olivia Brown and Darian Wiley both found success in their post-graduate lives.Wiley, 27, had a few years under his belt in construction management. Unbeknownst to him, he was days away from receiving a mentorship award.
They struck up a friendship after being placed in the same class in about fifth grade. The friendship blossomed from there in the form of sleepovers, car rides and watching sunsets at the small lake behind Brown’s house. The friends chose universities far away from each other after high school – Brown, Ball State; Leslie, Western Kentucky University. Leslie said they continued to call and stay up-to-date on each other’s social media, especially after Brown moved to the Indianapolis area.
Wiley called Thursday seeking advice from Russell about a construction project he was working on. Having met in 2014 through the Architecture, Construction and Engineering Mentor Program, the two men often had these conversations.Wiley's death has left Russell and the program reeling from the loss. Wiley was one of the program’s shining examples.Wiley joined the ACE program as a student at Arsenal Tech High School in 2014, when he met Russell, his mentor.
But he never forgot his roots, Russell said. Wiley returned to Arsenal Tech High School and became an ACE mentor. At one point, the program was on the brink of going away. Russell said Wiley was instrumental in saving the program by recruiting students and sharing his experience in the professional industry.On Tuesday, Wiley was slated to receive the Mentor of the Year award at Arsenal Tech, according to Russell.
