On the afternoon of Monday, January 9, 2023, at about 12:29 PM, police in Gary, Indiana, responded to reports of shots fired in the 400 block of Massachusetts Street. Officers found 24-year-old Jalen TaRay Hurd in the parking lot of a business, suffering from gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Hurd, also known as JayBall and Zach, was born August 12, 1998, and was a graduate of Gary Lighthouse College Preparatory Academy.

He played AAU and biddy basketball and was remembered for his love for family and friends and his loyalty. Investigators used surveillance footage, vehicle records, and cell phone data to identify a suspect; a Buick Lacrosse registered to that suspect yielded evidence tying the vehicle to the shooting.

Did anyone in Gary who knew Jalen or who was near Massachusetts Street that afternoon see anything that could help the case?
