In the pre-dawn hours of October 7, 2021, two men were killed in Hammond, Indiana. Calls of shots fired around 3:35 a.m. brought police to the 700 block of Locust Street, where 27-year-old Diandre Easter of Calumet City was found slumped in the passenger seat of a vehicle with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. A second victim, 26-year-old Daniel Gomez of East Chicago, lay in the yard of a nearby home with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and abdomen.

Both were pronounced dead at the scene by the Lake County Coroner’s office. Investigators described the incident as isolated and handed the probe to Detective Sergeant Shawn Ford; police asked the public for tips. No arrests, charges, or named suspects have been announced and the case remains open and unsolved.
