Family, friends of slain postal worker to gather for drive-thru funeral Sunday

GREENWOOD, Ind. (WISH) — Family and friends will pay their respects to an Indianapolis postal worker Sunday who was shot and killed while working her route in April.

The funeral for Angela Summers will take place in Greenwood Sunday afternoon from 2-4. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, Summers’ family is having a tent drive-thru service at Forest Lawn Funeral Home, 1977 S. State Road 135, Greenwood. Family, friends, coworkers and community members will remain in their vehicles and can stop briefly to pay their respects. The service will not be livestreamed.

Police say Summers was shot April 27, after a dispute with a homeowner in the 400 block of Denny Street.

Federal charges were later filed against Tony Cushingberry-Mays, 21, in the fatal shooting. He is charged with second-degree murder; assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers or employees; and discharging a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence.

Summers had been a letter carrier in Indianapolis for almost two years. She was 45 years old, the Marion County Coroner’s Office said.

“He said he had never previously spoken to Summers and that “he did not mean to kill the letter carrier, but wanted to scare her,” according to court documents.”

You never ever pull your firearm on something you don’t intend to kill. That’s rule #2

For anyone wanting to know what she wrote about the threats on Facebook:

She wrote, "The kids have been out with it and twice I've made them gather it and take it inside." She recounted other instances with the dog.

She also said that a woman at the address had threatened her. In one instance, she posted, "Then she proceeds to yell "bitch this and kick you ass bitch". . .I kept walking. I get to the other side of this house's yard and am putting mail in box at the next house and she's yelling that if I talk to these kids again she's "going to set a pit bull loose on my white bitch ass."
