Jeremiah Rivera was 16 when he was killed on February 17, 2014, in East Chicago, Indiana, in a burst of gunfire during what reports describe as a drug-related robbery attempt. An 18-year-old man was also wounded in the same volley; that surviving victim became an important witness as investigators tried to reconstruct who the gunman or gunmen thought they were confronting and what was taken or sought during the incident.

Authorities later identified a suspect, Lamario Delgado-Gonzalez, and a Lake County warrant for murder and attempted murder tied to the February 17 shootings was issued in early April 2014. In May 2014 the U.S. Marshals Service reported Delgado-Gonzalez had been taken into custody in Glendale, Arizona, and was described as awaiting extradition back to Indiana.

If anyone knew Jeremiah, the wounded survivor, or has information about the February 17, 2014 shooting, please share what is known.
