On April 1, 2022, Zachary Smith, 27, of Chicago, was fatally shot in Hammond, Indiana. The initial shooting occurred near Oasis Liquors; later that afternoon a rollover crash was found on the 5500 block of State Line Avenue in which Smith, the driver, was discovered with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a Chicago hospital and died of his injuries.

Police reported a major development the next day. On April 2, 2022, a suspect was taken into custody and held pending filing of formal charges. Court papers indicate the man suspected of the shooting left keys and credit cards behind while fleeing, items that helped identify him.

Are there observers or motorists who were near Oasis Liquors or State Line Avenue that afternoon who can add details about what happened?
