A welfare check at a home in the 200 block of Taft Place in Gary, Indiana, on October 19, 2017, led officers to the bedroom of 26-year-old Mariah Jones. She was found deceased and the Lake County Coroner’s Office later ruled her death a homicide from a fatal gunshot wound.

The Lake County/Gary Metro Homicide Unit opened an investigation, but the case has gone cold. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. The lack of a resolution has left the family and community seeking answers and closure.

If anyone has information about Mariah Jones or the circumstances of her death, please come forward to assist the ongoing investigation.
