Lorraine Reyna, a 59-year-old woman from Whiting, Indiana, was killed while trying to help a woman during a domestic disturbance outside the Portside Pub at 1516 Indianapolis Boulevard in Hammond on the early morning of March 30, 2025. Witnesses say a man and his girlfriend were arguing in a vehicle in the parking lot; the argument reportedly followed the man losing a large sum at a nearby casino. Bystanders intervened and Reyna, along with 25-year-old Paul Emigdio Olivares, moved to assist the woman.

According to reports, the aggressor produced a firearm and fired dozens of rounds, striking Reyna and Olivares and killing both. Three other people suffered serious injuries and were taken to hospitals. Officers arrived about 4:15 a.m. to find the bar entrance riddled with bullet holes.

Authorities identified 31-year-old Caprice Edward Cashaw of Merrillville as the suspect. He was taken into custody and charged with two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder, with firearm enhancements; he was held without bond.
