Javier Campa Olvera-Aguilar, 49, was killed on March 30, 2024, after gunfire erupted at a BP gas station in East Chicago, Indiana. He had gone inside to buy sodas and was waiting in line when shots were fired; Olvera-Aguilar was struck and died, and another man was wounded but survived.

Police identified 22-year-old Maurice Berry Jr. of Hammond as the shooter, and investigators say the attack grew out of a romantic rivalry. Surveillance video reportedly shows Berry entering the station and opening fire. The weapon was described as a modified Glock capable of fully automatic fire; twelve rounds were fired in seconds.

Berry was arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder, aggravated battery and multiple weapons offenses. The prosecution characterized the shooting as a planned attack; the defense has pleaded self-defense, saying the other man reached for something in his jacket and Berry fired because he feared for his life.

Did anyone witness the shooting or see the modified Glock at the scene?
