Shelton T. Curtis, 29, was shot and killed in Gary, Indiana on June 23, 2022.

Curtis had previously faced serious charges years earlier. In August 2015, at age 22, he was charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of James Powell and Raymond Washington-Whitehead and was described as armed and dangerous before turning himself in. He was tried and, after six hours of jury deliberation, acquitted of the double homicide charges in 2016.

Curtis’s death closed the chapter on a life that had already been the subject of intense legal scrutiny; the 2022 shooting remains unresolved. If anyone has information about Shelton Curtis’s death or the events of June 23, 2022, please come forward.
