On the night of September 21, 2020, 28-year-old Twon Jones was driving a black 2004 Lincoln eastbound on Interstate 80/94 (Borman Expressway) in Lake Station, Indiana, when his vehicle was struck by gunfire. The car, riddled with bullet holes, came to rest against the center median near the Ripley Street exit. Indiana State Police troopers found Jones bleeding and initially responsive shortly before 11:30 p.m.; he was given first aid and taken to St. Mary’s Medical Center in Hobart, but died from his injuries in the early hours of the next morning.

Investigators recovered multiple shell casings at the scene and closed the eastbound lanes for several hours while detectives examined the area. The Indiana State Police opened a homicide investigation and asked the public for any information that might help identify those responsible.

If anyone witnessed the shooting on the Borman Expressway that night or has information about the events leading to Twon Jones’s death, please come forward to law enforcement.
