On the evening of June 29, 2015, in Hammond, Indiana, 16-year-old Lauren Calvillo was killed after members of the Latin Counts street gang opened fire on the 5500 block of Beall Avenue. Lauren was on her front porch with family, including younger cousins and neighborhood children, when she pushed the children to safety and was struck and killed. Christopher White, 33, who was visiting family on the same street, was also shot and later died of his injuries.

Investigators concluded the shooting was a targeted attack motivated by a gang rivalry: members of the Latin Counts sought to retaliate against the Latin Kings, who were holding a vigil in the area. The probe led to multiple arrests of Latin Counts members and charges tied to the attack, including allegations that a high-ranking member ordered the assault and that others participated in the killings.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the events leading up to that night on Beall Avenue, please share what is known.
