Jose C. Diaz was 52 when he was found fatally shot on the morning of July 5, 2022, in the 3800 block of Van Buren Street in Gary, Indiana. The Lake County Coroner pronounced him dead at 10:34 a.m. after he was discovered outside with multiple gunshot wounds.

His death came during a period of intensified gun violence in Gary; a mass shooting at a holiday block party elsewhere in the city that same day left three people dead and seven wounded. The Gary Police Department has not publicly identified any suspects or announced arrests in Diaz’s murder, and authorities have not released detailed updates on the investigation.

Who knew Jose Diaz or was in that neighborhood on July 5, 2022, and might have information that could help investigators?
