'Trust the process': Officials give update in Mason Alexander crash, investigation
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office released a statement regarding next steps in the crash that caused the death of Hamilton Southeastern graduate and Pitt freshman cornerback, Mason Alexander. The sheriff's office said on April 17, members of their crash team met with the Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney's Office to discuss the investigation and criminal charges. They also met with various family members and continue to reach out for ongoing communication with loved ones. "The Hamilton County community experienced a deep loss with the passing of Mason Alexander," the statement released Monday read. "This crash has been under investigation since that date. The HCSO is approaching this case, with dignity, respect, and due diligence." Because the driver of the BMW involved in the March 1 crash was a juvenile, their identity has not been released by the sheriff's office. The sheriff's office encouraged the community to "trust the process,' a phrase, "many of us may recall from coaches during our time in organized sports." The agency said there are established policies and procedures that guide investigations and adherence to them is essential to not compromise the case. Mason Alexander: Hamilton Southeastern graduate, Pitt freshman CB Mason Alexander dies in car accident Alexander was a passenger in a 2016 BMW 320 before being killed in a car crash on Florida Road near 113th Street in Fishers.

The Toyota veered right off the east side of the roadway to avoid the collision and struck a mailbox. The BMW slid through the grass before hitting and tree and catching fire. Alexander was pronounced dead at the scene. He was one of the top recruits in the country as a cornerback. He was a two-time all-state selection and had offers from several top programs before picking Pitt over Purdue, Wisconsin and others. He also anchored Hamilton Southeastern's 4x100-meter state champion relay team last spring. The sheriff's office said it is not uncommon for these types of investigations to take months to complete.
