Keith Leroy Daniel II, 29, was shot and killed on July 19, 2020, near 6th Avenue and Maryland Street in Gary, Indiana. Police found him face-down at the scene and he was pronounced dead at a hospital; authorities ruled the death a homicide. An obituary lists his birth on February 13, 1991, his parents Keith and Monique Daniel, and surviving siblings, nieces, nephews and extended family. A visitation and private homegoing service were held July 31, 2020, at Israel CME Church with masks, temperature checks and hand sanitizing.

Investigators recovered eight shell casings at the Maryland Street scene and later linked at least one casing to a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero found with bullet damage on Connecticut Street. Prosecutors say the Alero was traced to Joseph T. Durden, that casings matched those recovered at the scene and during the autopsy, and that video placed Durden and Daniel together; officers also recovered a piece of the car’s seat cushion in the roadway. Durden was charged in March 2022; at the September 2024 trial the state presented the physical links while the defense highlighted gaps, including an unidentified DNA profile and disputed timing of biological material.

Does anyone have information about Keith, the July 19, 2020 shooting, or the people who were in that area that night?
