April D. Bailey, 39, was killed inside her Gary, Indiana home on January 13, 2016. According to reports, she was shot in the face at point-blank range on the 4700 block of Delaware Street while three of her own children and three other children were present and witnessed the killing.

Investigators identified Kevin D. Riley Sr. as the primary suspect and tied the attack to a dispute arising from Riley’s relationship with Bailey. Accounts say Marian Robertson went to Bailey’s home to confront her about that relationship; during the confrontation Riley emerged from a vehicle and shot Bailey. Riley’s past includes juvenile convictions for child molesting and earlier criminal charges related to the death of an infant, and he reportedly had failed to register as a sex or violent offender.

A jury convicted Riley of murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a murder, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon; the judge described him as manipulative and violent and imposed a 91-year prison sentence. Did anyone in the Gary area have information about Bailey’s movements or the people who visited her that day?
