Timya Andrews was eight years old when she was struck by a stray bullet at home in East Chicago, Indiana, on the night of October 22, 2020. She was working on homework in the family living room shortly after 10 p.m. when rapid gunfire on the street sent roughly 15 to 16 rounds from an automatic weapon; one projectile penetrated the house siding and struck her in the head.

First responders took Timya to St. Catherine’s Hospital for stabilization, then she was airlifted to Comer Children’s Hospital in Chicago. She remained in critical condition for six days and died on Wednesday, October 28, 2020. An autopsy ruled her death a homicide. Police say they do not believe Timya or her family were the intended targets; the family had moved to the neighborhood from Chicago to escape gun violence. A male relative had been shot a week earlier, though authorities have not confirmed a connection.

The East Chicago Police Department and the ATF investigated, and a $10,000 reward was offered for information leading to arrest and conviction. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified. If anyone has information about the shooting, can you help investigators by coming forward?
