Raudel Contreras Jr. was 26 when he was killed in Hammond, Indiana on August 14, 2014. He had been at a local bar that night and was not involved in gang activity; accounts say he was an innocent bystander when gunfire erupted and he was fatally wounded.

Investigators identified an alleged Latin Kings member as a suspect in the shooting. That individual was arrested and charged in connection with Contreras’ death, and was later convicted and sentenced to 240 months in prison for his role in the attack. Family and friends remembered Contreras as kind-hearted and devoted to his daughter.

If anyone was at the bar that night or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
