A family feud that began in Honduras ended in gunfire in Lawrence, Indiana. On August 18, 2024, 38-year-old Daniel Alberto Morales Uribe was killed in a parking lot shooting at 42nd Street and Post Road that also claimed the lives of Candido Eustaquio Antunez Escobar and Juan Manuel Alfaro Escobar. Daniel Morales Uribe was not part of the original confrontation; his wife, a relative of the Antunez Escobar family, told police he had come to try to stop a brewing fight and was struck when the argument turned into a shootout.

He was taken to a hospital and later died; the other two victims were pronounced dead at the scene. Two men, Santos Alfaro-Escobar and Justo Miguel Antunez Escobar, were arrested soon after the shooting and held on ICE detainers; initial charges included battery with a deadly weapon and criminal recklessness. Witnesses reported two vehicles fleeing the scene, one of which crashed nearby and from which two men ran; the other was traced to an apartment where multiple weapons were reportedly recovered.

Has anyone with ties to Lawrence or the families involved seen or heard details that could help clarify what happened that day?
