Marco Alonzo, a 20-year-old Caucasian man, was fatally shot on a Tuesday in Griffith, Indiana. He was found in an apartment complex with a gunshot wound to the face and was taken to a Gary hospital, where he died. Friends and family remembered him as a sports fan who enjoyed football, a music lover who DJed, and as a utility locator by trade.

A man from Gary was arrested and charged with murder in connection with Alonzo’s death. The case went to a jury trial, but the jury returned a not guilty verdict and the defendant was released. The acquittal left the legal question unresolved and the circumstances surrounding Marco Alonzo’s death still painful for his loved ones and the Griffith community.
