Donald Fuzzell was 21 and from Calumet Park, Illinois, when he was shot and killed in the parking lot of a gas station in the 2300 block of Broadway in Gary, Indiana, on April 12, 2015. He sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene just before midnight; the death was officially ruled a homicide.

Investigators linked the killing to what authorities described as a botched robbery. Four people were identified and arrested in connection with the case: Dontrall Jer’i Phillips, Daidreon Sparks, Walter Rondo III, and Jimmie Caldwell. Court documents say the four had met and planned to commit a robbery, intending to split proceeds to buy alcohol and marijuana, and the plan went tragically wrong.

Dontrall Jer’i Phillips, 19 at the time, later pleaded guilty to murder; ballistics evidence indicated he did not fire the fatal shots, but he admitted involvement in the robbery that led to Fuzzell’s death. Phillips was sentenced in March 2021 to 45 years in prison. Does anyone have information about Donald’s movements that night or witnessed activity in the 2300 block of Broadway on April 12, 2015?
