Aaron William Scott, 30, was fatally shot on September 23, 2019, in Gary, Indiana. The shooting happened in a vehicle and also killed 32-year-old Kerry Rice Jr.; two other people were wounded in the same incident. Kerry Rice Jr. was the son of a Gary police sergeant, and one of the wounded was his brother, Steven Rice.

Authorities later identified Michael Sherrod Smith as the suspect. U.S. Marshals apprehended Smith, then 35, in Oakland, California, on July 21, 2020. During the arrest he attempted to flee on foot and discarded a firearm that was recovered. He was charged with two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder and faced extradition to Lake County, Indiana, to stand trial for the killings of Aaron William Scott and Kerry Rice Jr.

In a further tragedy, Steven Rice, who had been wounded in the September 2019 shooting, was shot and killed in a separate incident on July 1, 2020. Does anyone have information about the September 2019 shooting or about the victims’ movements that day?
