On the evening of October 13, 2016, 18-year-old Zantrell Collins and his 18-year-old girlfriend Koreena Ramos were found shot to death in a parked car in Gary, Indiana. The owners of a nearby Family Discount Foods on East 49th Avenue discovered the victims as they were closing; both had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and the Lake County Coroner’s Office ruled their deaths homicides. The killings occurred during an already violent month for the city.

The investigation faced repeated setbacks: detectives followed false leads and unreliable witness accounts, and learned Collins and Ramos had a reputation for robbing people, a detail investigators considered when exploring motive. The name William Dejuan Antonio Galloway later surfaced as a person of interest. In April 2020 an inmate, Nicholas Pelissier, provided testimony implicating Galloway; authorities arrested Galloway in November 2019 and charges were filed based on that account. Prosecutors dropped the murder charges in August 2024, citing insufficient evidence. Galloway remains in custody on an unrelated 2021 conviction.

Did anyone who knew Zantrell or Koreena see them in Gary in October 2016 or have information about that night?
