On November 3, 2019, at about 12:30 a.m., 36-year-old Darvell Smith was found in his vehicle in the 2300 block of White Oak Avenue in Hammond, Indiana, having suffered multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene; the Lake County coroner ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators tied the killing to a family dispute. A fight at a family party the previous night prompted a police response but no arrests. Hours later, Smith’s cousin, 32-year-old Shaun A. Whitelow, reportedly stalked him and shot him while he sat in his parked car, an act described in reports as execution-style. Whitelow was arrested in connection with the murder.

Smith left behind children and a grieving family. Does anyone have information about the party that preceded the shooting or about the events on White Oak Avenue that night?
