Katelyn Golden, 26, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of November 24, 2019, after an argument that began inside Coach’s Corner bar on Kennedy Avenue in Hammond, Indiana spilled into the parking lot. Witnesses and surveillance footage show Golden arguing with a man identified as 32-year-old Steven Maurice Todd as they exited the bar. The footage captured Todd pulling a black semiautomatic handgun as Golden approached the passenger side of a white Dodge Charger he had entered and firing a single shot. Golden was found with a gunshot wound to the neck and was pronounced dead at the scene.

A warrant was issued for Todd’s arrest and he was charged with murder. Another man, Kyum Sajad Gillis, was identified as the driver of the getaway vehicle and later charged with assisting a criminal; Gillis gave a video statement naming Todd as the shooter and describing his role. Todd was arrested in California by the U.S. Marshals Service and extradited to Lake County, Indiana. In March, Todd pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Golden is survived by two children; her mother addressed the court at sentencing, saying she forgave Todd while also expressing profound anger and grief.

Did anyone who knew Katelyn or witnessed the incident come forward with additional information that could fill gaps in the timeline?
