Monica J. Mills, 43, was found wounded in a blue 2000 Ford Focus in the Bishop Noll Institute parking lot in Hammond, Indiana, on the evening of April 11, 2021. Paramedics discovered her unconscious and without a pulse from a gunshot wound; she was taken to St. Catherine Hospital in East Chicago and pronounced dead.

Investigators focused on her 38-year-old on-again, off-again boyfriend, Mark Jeaquan Halliburton. He initially told police two men had approached and shot Monica through the passenger window, but his account changed during questioning. Security footage reportedly showed a flash of light from inside the car and Halliburton running between the vehicle and a nearby apartment several times before officers arrived. Halliburton later told investigators the gun discharged while he was adjusting his jogging pants inside the car, and he had previously been barred from legally possessing firearms and had coerced Monica into buying one for him.

Does anyone have information about Monica’s movements that evening or recall seeing the blue Ford Focus in the Bishop Noll lot?
