Gary Mayor Jerome Prince and Police Chief Brian Evans Tuesday addressed a violent approximate 24-hours in the city Oct. 2 to Oct. 3 that saw four people shot to death, including two juveniles.
None of the crimes were drug or gang related, he said, nor from the city’s perspective were they random acts of violence.
That same day, police responded to the 2600 block of Jackson Street for two victims who were both shot. The female victim was dead at the scene, a second victim was still alive and transported to a Chicago hospital. There is no update at this time on the male victim’s condition, Evans said. He assured the public the Gary Police Department, Metro Homicide division and federal and local departments are working hard to provide closure to these cases.
