On the evening of October 19, 2019, first responders found 50-year-old Antonio Reeves in the 500 block of Ralston Street in Gary’s Brunswick neighborhood suffering severe injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 7:00 p.m. The Lake County Coroner’s Office later determined the cause of death to be multiple gunshot wounds and ruled the case a homicide.

Detectives processed the scene and canvassed the area, but immediate leads were scarce. Family and friends remembered Reeves as a generous person, while investigators described the motive as unclear.

Anyone with information about Antonio Reeves or the shooting on Ralston Street is urged to contact the Gary Police Department.
