On October 17, 2021, a late-night argument at the Citgo on Gostlin Street in Hammond exploded into gunfire near Hohman Avenue and Gostlin Street. Witnesses say masked individuals were involved in the confrontation. Krystol McDonald-Jones, 30, of Chicago, was in a Buick Rendezvous with 27-year-old Christienne Cloutier when the vehicle was found after crashing into a building at Gostlin Street and State Line Avenue. Both were shot multiple times; Krystol was pronounced dead at the scene and Christienne later died at a hospital. A young child who had been in the vehicle was uninjured and placed in protective custody.

Investigators tied the shooting to a stolen silver Dodge Charger from Chicago used by suspects to flee. Hammond detectives described the incident as isolated and later identified a suspect. In November 2022, 21-year-old Damon Calhoun of Chicago was charged with two counts of murder; two other suspects believed to have been involved in an earlier carjacking were still being sought. Does anyone have information about the events at the Citgo that night or about the stolen Charger?
