Kennette Dabney-ONeal, 31, was shot and killed in the early hours of Thanksgiving morning, November 27, 2014, during what police called a domestic argument on the 1000 block of Matthews Street in Gary, Indiana. Officers found her down in an alley; the Lake County coroner identified her as Kennette Oneal and she was pronounced dead at 5:20 a.m. Reports say she had been struck multiple times.

Investigators said a man pulled out a gun and opened fire; two women ran from the house trying to escape. A second woman was wounded and located in the backyard before being taken to Methodist Hospitals Northlake campus in Gary. Police initially said the suspected shooter fled in a gray 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. By the next day Gary police confirmed a suspect had been taken into custody and faced a murder charge in Kennette’s death and an attempted murder charge for the other victim. Early reports characterized the suspect as Kennette’s boyfriend, though police did not publicly release his name in the initial updates and later case outcomes were not provided.

Kennette was remembered in community notices and family remembrances as someone raised and educated in Gary who had been working to rebuild and rehab homes. Does anyone have information about Kennette, that night, or the people involved?
