A visit to a Gary, Indiana, home turned deadly for 27-year-old Larry Peaches on October 12, 2002. Peaches was at Delores Buchanan’s house with her son, Herman Buchanan, and a friend, Simeon Bradley when Ronnie Drane arrived. After a brief conversation Drane left and returned with a handgun, then opened fire; Peaches was struck multiple times and died at the scene, found slumped near the front door.

Herman Buchanan was shot in the jaw and escaped the house with Bradley. Additional gunfire from inside the home was later reported; Delores Buchanan was found inside a bedroom closet, also dead of multiple gunshot wounds. Drane fled Indiana and later arranged an attack on Herman Buchanan in Kentucky in March 2003; the first attempt failed but Herman was ambushed and killed later that month. Drane was arrested by federal marshals in Tennessee in March 2004, tried on multiple counts, found guilty by a jury in August 2007 on charges including the two murders, and received a 180-year prison sentence.

Are there witnesses who were at the house that night or anyone who remembers seeing Drane in Gary before October 12, 2002?
