Kelvin Campbell Jr., 26, of East Chicago, Indiana, was found in the darkness of the 36100 block of Orchard Drive in Hammond in the early morning hours of May 13, 2014, after neighbors reported gunfire. Officers who arrived around 2 a.m. discovered him with multiple gunshot wounds; the Lake County Coroner’s office says he died at the scene. Hammond police opened a homicide investigation and initially reported that no one was in custody, without naming suspects or a motive.

Public memorials and records mark his death as the result of gun violence and remember connections to local schools, a nickname, and personal qualities, but they do not provide investigative details. News archives available over a decade later contain only the early reports and tributes, with no widely reported arrests, charges, or identified suspects. Did anyone in the community have information about Kelvin’s life or what happened that night?
