Victor Diaz Jr., 44, was killed during a carjacking in Gary, Indiana, in December 2019. The robbery occurred around 5 a.m. at a gas station in the 1300 block of Chase Street when his vehicle was taken. Diaz pursued the stolen car, a confrontation followed and he was shot in the face. He was taken to Methodist Hospital and died on December 16, 2019. The stolen vehicle was recovered shortly afterward on Clark Road.

Investigators released surveillance footage after the shooting. A patrol officer later spotted a vehicle matching the description and tried to stop it at 15th and Burr streets; the driver fled. The pursuit ended when the car crashed into a gas station at 25th Avenue and Burr, and occupants ran. One person was caught immediately and, with other officers, five more were quickly detained. All suspects were juveniles and were taken in for questioning in connection with the auto theft and Diaz’s homicide.

If anyone saw the carjacking, the stolen vehicle after it left the gas station, or the crash at 25th Avenue and Burr, does that information still exist for investigators?
