Myles Williams Beach, 37, was fatally shot on February 22, 2018, in Merrillville, Indiana. Born October 1, 1980, in Gary, Indiana, he was known as Myles Beach and remembered as a gregarious community member who loved cooking, working on cars and ran his own lawn care service. He is survived by his mother and several children.

Public details about the shooting are sparse. For a time there was no widely reported information about suspects or arrests, which caused ongoing anguish for family and friends. Later mention of a possible link to a credit card skimming device appears in reporting of the investigation; a comment on a memorial page claims an individual was apprehended and sentenced to 80 years, but there is no official confirmation of that sentence or the suspect’s identity in the available material.

If anyone knew Myles, saw him in Merrillville around February 2018, or has information about the shooting, please share what can help bring clarity for his family.
