Juble Nathan Hairston, 36, was found shot to death in Gary, Indiana, in the early morning hours of Saturday, April 4, 2015. Officers were dispatched to the 2800 block of West Ninth Avenue about 12:20 a.m. after a report of a man down; Hairston, a Merrillville resident born November 17, 1978, was unresponsive and later pronounced dead at the scene by the Lake County Coroner’s Office.

The Lake County/Gary Metro Homicide Unit investigated. No motive or suspects were publicly released in the initial stages, and no arrests have been made. The circumstances that led to Hairston being in that Gary neighborhood that morning remain unclear. He was remembered by family as a loving father and friend, and the death shocked the community.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact investigators.
