Jermaine Salazar, 46, was shot and killed while walking his dog on the evening of May 14, 2019, in the 200 block of North Colfax Street in Griffith, Indiana. Police found Salazar wounded in his driveway just after 9:00 p.m.; he was taken to Northlake Methodist Hospital in Gary and pronounced dead from a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators quickly focused on Juan Guerrero, 41, of Griffith. Authorities say the shooting followed a domestic dispute: earlier that day Guerrero had argued with his ex-girlfriend, who was living with Salazar, over being late to pick up her foster son. That evening Guerrero reportedly drove to the North Colfax residence, called the woman outside and was seen armed. When Salazar came out, officers say Guerrero opened fire, striking Salazar multiple times in the torso. Guerrero was taken into custody and police recovered a 9mm handgun; he was charged with murder in Lake Superior Court and held without bail.

Does anyone who lived on North Colfax Street that night remember seeing Guerrero’s vehicle or hearing the disturbance?
