Sherrod Carter, 39, was shot and killed on May 22, 2017, in an alley behind an apartment building in the 2100 block of Carolina Street in Gary, Indiana. He was found on the ground and taken to Methodist Hospitals Northlake Campus, where he died shortly after arrival.

The fatal encounter reportedly began with an argument between Carter and 19-year-old Gary resident Wesley Darrell Trout, who was accompanied by his father. A witness tried to intervene as tensions rose. Surveillance footage from a nearby market shows Trout drive by, stop, and confront Carter while Carter was walking away from his vehicle; the video shows Trout’s father threatening Carter with a lug wrench and the younger Trout pursuing Carter before firing a handgun.

Wesley Darrell Trout was charged with murder after investigators say he admitted to firing the weapon; witness statements and the surveillance video were cited in the probable cause affidavit. Did anyone in Gary see the confrontation or have information about the people involved that could shed more light on what happened?
