David J. Shelton was 30 and working as a pizza delivery driver for Luigi’s Pizza when he was killed on the evening of November 24, 2019, in Gary, Indiana. He had been dispatched to a residence in the 3700 block of West Washington Street; when he arrived the delivery proved to be a setup and Shelton was shot and killed during an apparent attempted robbery.

Investigators traced the order back to a specific cell phone. That lead identified two men from Gary, 21-year-old Terryante Flournoy and 20-year-old Ciontay Wright, who were alleged to have placed the order with the intent to rob the delivery driver. Both were taken into custody and a federal grand jury returned indictments charging attempted robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, and murder resulting from the use of a firearm during a crime of violence; Flournoy was also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Anyone who knew David Shelton, saw activity in the 3700 block of West Washington Street that night, or has information about the case is asked to come forward.
