Julio Cesar Salinas, 39, was fatally shot on the evening of January 13, 2020, on the 3800 block of Elm Street in East Chicago, Indiana. Around 9:30 PM about 15 gunshots were heard; Salinas sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the head, chest, thigh, upper back and buttocks and was taken to St. Catherine Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Witnesses said several people fled the scene after the shooting, but no descriptions have been released publicly.

Investigators describe the case as an active homicide investigation. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced, and authorities have urged anyone with information to contact anonymous tip lines. Salinas was also known by the nickname Diablo and had pending criminal charges from a prior shooting at an East Chicago bar that remained unresolved at the time of his death.

Does anyone have information about that January evening on Elm Street or knew Julio Salinas that could help the investigation?
