Marc Anthony Burton was 18 when he was found fatally shot in an abandoned building in the 1000 block of North Clark Road in Gary, Indiana. He was discovered after Hammond police alerted Gary police about a possible deceased person; poor lighting on March 10, 2021 delayed locating the body until the next day. The Lake County coroner’s office ruled his death a homicide.

A Hammond High School student, Burton participated in wrestling, football, track, ROTC and the 21st Century Scholars Program with Purdue University Northwest. He also pursued music under the nickname CDG Jackbaby. The Metro Homicide Unit is handling the investigation; no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the case remains open.

If anyone knew Marc, seen him in the area that week, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
