Ashanti Brown was 20 and from Olympia Fields, Illinois, when she was killed during a mass shooting at a Fourth of July block party in Gary, Indiana. The attack occurred in the early morning hours of July 5, 2022, and left three people dead — Brown, 26-year-old Marquise Hall of Gary, and 25-year-old Laurence Mangum of Merrillville — and ten others wounded.

Brown had recently completed pharmacy tech certification and was weeks away from starting clinical training; she aspired to become a nurse and open a medical clinic. Police detained a person of interest in the investigation, but that individual has not been publicly identified and no charges have been announced. The motive for the shooting remains unclear.

Did anyone at the party or living nearby see or hear anything that could help investigators piece together what happened that night?
