Kajah Tinneal Lanai Wilson, 27, was shot and killed on August 7, 2023, in an apartment building in the 300 block of Clark Road in Gary, Indiana. Returning home with a companion, Kajah and the other person were ambushed when a masked gunman opened fire from a stairwell above. Kajah collapsed in the first-floor entryway and died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds; the companion was also severely injured.

Investigators tied the ambush to a prior dispute with tenants in the apartment above. About two weeks earlier the victims’ apartment had been burglarized by a masked male and an unmasked female, an event captured on home security footage. Authorities reported the masked man from the burglary matched the shooter by build, clothing, and the way the firearm was handled, and stolen electronics were pawned the day after the break-in.

Kajah was born in Chicago on October 27, 1995, and was described as an entrepreneur who started three businesses, including a clothing line and a custom rug company. Does anyone have information about Kajah, her businesses, or the people who lived in the upstairs apartment?
