Brian Cooper was 22 when he was fatally shot on the evening of March 10, 2014, in Gary, Indiana. Known to some as B-Coop, he was a Merrillville High School graduate and a father to a young daughter. He was seated in the passenger seat of a car in the Midtown neighborhood when gunfire erupted; two other men were wounded and the vehicle had rolled to a stop after the driver was also shot. A loaded semiautomatic pistol was found on the car’s floor. Prosecutors described the shooting as the aftermath of a planned robbery aimed at stealing marijuana.

Two men have been charged in connection with Cooper’s death. One man was tried on murder charges, and another entered a plea agreement to an attempted robbery charge and testified at the murder trial. Does anyone have information about Cooper, witnesses from Midtown that night, or details that could add to the record?
