In the early morning hours of July 31, 2025, two Chicago men were killed in a drive‑by shooting in Gary, Indiana. Dante Givens, 37, was driving an SUV with 36‑year‑old Deon Stewart in the passenger seat when another vehicle pulled alongside at the intersection of 37th Avenue and Grant Street and an occupant opened fire. Both Givens and Stewart were struck multiple times; the SUV drove to the Village Shopping Center parking lot, where they were later pronounced dead. The Lake County Coroner’s Office listed Givens’ time of death as 4:40 a.m. and ruled the manner of death homicide due to gunshot wounds.

Two back‑seat passengers in Givens’ vehicle were not physically harmed and provided witness statements. Investigators gathered video surveillance, license plate reader data, social media evidence and witness accounts as part of the probe led by the Lake County Prosecutor’s Homicide Task Force. What additional details can anyone who was in the area that night provide to help clarify what happened?
