On Sunday evening, October 2, 2022, Arlandus Jackson, 37, of Chicago was shot while in the 900 block of Williams Street in Gary, Indiana. Jackson and another person had been delivering a motor to a friend and were standing outside their truck when an unidentified man wearing all blue emerged from a nearby alley and opened fire with a rifle. Jackson was critically wounded and was taken by private vehicle to Methodist Hospital, Northlake Campus, where he later died of his injuries.

Gary Police and the Metro Homicide Division investigated and said they did not believe the shooting was random or related to drugs or gang activity, and that they had very good leads. No public announcement of an arrest or suspect identification has been made and the case remains unresolved. If anyone has information about that evening on Williams Street or saw a person in blue near the alley, please come forward.
