Hispanic / Latino male Steven Gonzalez Rosario, age 20, was fatally shot on the evening of Saturday, September 14, 2024, in Hammond, Indiana. The incident occurred at approximately 6:00 p.m. in the 400 block of Huehn Street in the city's North Hammond neighborhood. Steven was seated in a parked vehicle outside a residence alongside a 20-year-old female companion, identified in obituary records as his wife, Tatiana Solis-Gonzalez, when an unknown individual approached the car and opened fire.
Neighbors in the area reported hearing a series of gunshots—four distinct shots followed by two more just seconds later—before hearing a woman screaming. Emergency responders arrived to find Steven with fatal injuries, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The female victim sustained serious injuries during the attack and was subsequently airlifted to a local hospital for urgent medical treatment.
As of late 2024, the investigation into the homicide remains active but unsolved. Hammond Police have not publicly identified any suspects or announced any arrests in connection with the shooting.
