Alec Robert McCloud, 44, was shot and killed in Gary, Indiana on August 3, 2015. Officers found McCloud inside his vehicle near 5th Avenue and Roosevelt Street with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Methodist Hospital Northlake and was pronounced dead. The Lake County Coroner’s office recorded fatal injuries to his liver and aorta and ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators say the confrontation began earlier that evening at a residence on Ellsworth Street when McCloud went to the home of 35-year-old Gentry Jackson, who was married to McCloud’s ex-wife. Witnesses, including Jackson’s stepson, reported seeing Jackson exit the house with a firearm and shoot at McCloud. McCloud attempted to flee but crashed into a curb outside a nearby church and later died.

Police charged Jackson with murder. The defense raised self-defense, alleging McCloud had pointed a weapon at Jackson, while investigators testified no weapon was found in McCloud’s vehicle. The jury rejected the self-defense claim and convicted Jackson of murder after about five hours of deliberation.

Does anyone have information about McCloud’s movements that evening or witnesses who were near Ellsworth Street or the intersection of 5th Avenue and Roosevelt Street?
