Chloe Bell was 17 when she was killed in Hammond, Indiana, on the night of July 19, 2017. Gunfire struck through the front door of her family’s home; Chloe was hit and pronounced dead in her mother’s arms. She was a high school senior who had planned to study criminal justice.

Hammond police said investigators did not believe Chloe was the intended target and suggested the shots may have been aimed at a family member who lived at the same address. That theory was linked to reports of other recent shootings in the area. Police questioned Chloe’s brother but did not take him into custody.

No arrests were ever publicly announced. Her family described her as bright and greatly loved; they and the community have been left with unanswered questions. If anyone knew Chloe, her family, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
