Paul Emigdio Olivares, 25, was one of two people killed in a shooting in the early hours of March 30, 2025, at the Portside Pub, 1516 Indianapolis Blvd, Hammond, Indiana. The shooting began in the bar’s parking lot during what authorities described as a domestic incident. Olivares and 59-year-old Lorraine Reyna were reported to have been acting as Good Samaritans trying to defuse the situation when they were fatally shot; three other people were wounded. Both Olivares and Reyna were pronounced dead at the scene around 4 a.m., a time the establishment was reportedly supposed to have been closed.

A person of interest was taken into custody and later identified as 31-year-old Caprice Edward Cashaw of Merrillville. Cashaw was charged with multiple felonies, including murder and attempted murder, with firearm enhancements. A memorial gathering was scheduled to honor Olivares, remembered locally as a kind, courageous, and loyal friend, son, and brother.
