The Gary Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying two men who were caught on video near the scene of a Saturday evening double homicide.
Officers responded to a report of shots fired at a home in the 6800 block of E. Third Avenue at around 8 p.m., Gary Police spokeswoman Lt. Dawn Westerfield said in a Sunday release. As they investigated the home, they found an unresponsive woman and boy, Westerfield said.
Westerfield said the two had apparently been shot and were declared dead at the scene by the Lake County Coroner’s Office. The coroner’s office had yet to release further information Sunday afternoon.
Two men were caught on camera near the residence at around the time of the shooting, Westerfield said.
Anyone with information on the identity of either person is urged to contact Det. Kristopher Adams of the Lake County/Gary Metro Homicide Unit at 219-755-3855, or the Crime Tip Line at 866-CRIME-GP.
