Eric R. Douglas, 32, was found dead outside Ralo’s Bar at 3948 Alder Street in East Chicago around 1:46 a.m. on December 25, 2021. Responding officers located him lying face down with a gunshot wound to the head; investigators describe the killing as execution-style.

Surveillance from the bar reportedly captured Douglas inside wearing a red shirt with a man in a striped top believed to be the shooter. The footage is said to show the two exiting, then the suspect firing at Douglas through a window. Police obtained the full video via search warrant and sent evidence to a forensic lab, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Investigators report significant challenges, including patrons at the bar initially refusing officers entry and a lack of cooperative witnesses. Does anyone have information about that night or about Eric’s movements before he left the bar?
