In the pre-dawn hours of November 12, 2014, two teenagers were shot dead on a Gary, Indiana, street corner. Raphael Jones Jr., 18, and Javonte Bridges, 15, were found with fatal gunshot wounds around 2:30 a.m.; both families were unaware the boys were not at home. The Lake County Coroner later confirmed their identities.

Police canvassed the neighborhood immediately after the double homicide but did not develop suspects or significant leads. There have been no public announcements about arrests or identified suspects, and the deaths remain unresolved.

If anyone knew Raphael or Javonte, or has information about that night, please share what might help investigators.
