On the afternoon of Friday, November 26, 2021, 24-year-old Bashair Woods of Chicago, Illinois, was shot and killed in downtown East Chicago, Indiana. Woods and 23-year-old Antoine R. Moore Jr. of East Chicago were reportedly making a rap video in or around their Jeep near 139th and Main Street when three men opened fire in what police described as a targeted ambush. Woods was pronounced dead at the scene; Moore was taken to St. Catherine Hospital and later died of his injuries.

The shooting occurred about 4:00 PM on a crowded street. City shot spotter technology registered at least 23 rapid-fire gunshots and investigators recovered a chaotic scene with more than 50 evidence markers around the vehicle. Multiple city and business surveillance cameras captured the attack, but the assailants fled before they could be identified.
