Jimmy Valentine, 55, was found unresponsive in a ditch along the 2500 block of Calhoun Street on the afternoon of February 25, 2019. Officers responded to a call about a man down at about 12:22 p.m.; the Lake County Coroner’s Office later ruled his death a homicide from a gunshot wound.

Jimmy’s death came during a concentrated week of violence that also claimed his wife, Tracy Valentine, 48, and an acquaintance, Timothy Snow, 55, who were found shot to death inside a home on the 400 block of Johnson Street on February 20, 2019. On the night of February 24, Jimmy’s older brother, Wayne Valentine, 69, was found shot to death near a vehicle in the 2400 block of Jennings Street. The Gary Police Department and the Lake County Metro Homicide Unit treated the killings as connected.

Authorities named a convicted felon, Drew Carter III, as a person of interest in the broader string of violence occurring that week; public reports have not shown a formal charge specifically for Jimmy Valentine’s murder. Does anyone have information about Jimmy, his movements in February 2019, or contacts who might help fill gaps in the timeline?
