Luis Acuna, 48, was found dead from gunshot wounds in Gary, Indiana, on December 2, 2022. Originally from Valparaiso, he was a well-known and well-liked presence in the local wrestling community, remembered for encouraging young athletes, offering handshakes and his signature bear hugs, and being deeply committed to his faith and the sport.

The regional homicide unit took over the investigation. No details about suspects or arrests have been released, leaving many questions for a grieving community that remembers him as a constant light at practices and tournaments.

If anyone knew Luis, his routines, or saw anything around Gary on or before December 2, 2022, please come forward with information.
