In the predawn hours of February 27, 2019, gunfire on the 2900 block of West 10th Place in Gary, Indiana, left Pamela Crider, 42, with a fatal gunshot wound to the face. Officers arriving after a shots-fired call around 5:25 a.m. found her unresponsive; the Lake County coroner identified her and ruled the death a homicide. Detectives from the Lake County/Gary Metro Homicide Unit took over the scene and asked anyone who had heard or seen anything in that predawn window to come forward.

Her death occurred amid a wave of violent incidents in late February 2019 that investigators described as possibly linked — two people shot inside an apartment, a man found dead near a vehicle, and another left in a ditch — and authorities looked into whether Crider’s killing fit the same pattern.

Did anyone in the Gary area hear or see anything around 5:25 a.m. on February 27, 2019, that could help investigators?
