Ajonte J. Griffin, 36, was killed during an early-morning shooting in Gary, Indiana. On February 10, 2017, officers responding to reports of gunfire in the 300 block of McKinley Street arrived around 1:35 a.m. and found Griffin and a 29-year-old woman suffering from gunshot wounds. The woman was taken to a hospital; Griffin was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:53 a.m. The Lake County coroner later ruled his death a homicide.

According to the injured woman, the shooting began after she and Griffin returned to her home following a day together. She said she heard a commotion while in the bathroom and came out to find Griffin struggling with her ex-boyfriend, Anthony Harry Day, who was armed. The woman alleges Day opened fire, wounding her and fatally shooting Griffin. Day was charged with murder, attempted murder, battery with a deadly weapon, stalking, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon, and pleaded not guilty. His first trial in June 2019 ended in a mistrial; a new trial was scheduled for March 2024.

Does anyone have information about Griffin’s movements that night or witnessed activity on McKinley Street around 1:30 a.m. on February 10, 2017?
