In the early morning hours of January 14, 2022, Lamontrel McFarland, a 42-year-old male, was found with fatal gunshot wounds in Gary, Indiana. His body was discovered around 5:06 AM in the 2400 block of Broadway, lying next to a building. Emergency responders from the Gary Fire Department pronounced him dead at the scene from injuries consistent with gunshot wounds to his torso.
Investigators believe McFarland may have been at the Blue Room Lounge earlier that morning, a location where
another shooting incident had occurred. At approximately 2:59 AM, Gary police had responded to a call about a possible gunshot victim at the lounge, located in the 200 block of East 16th Avenue. There, they found a 28-year-old man who had been shot in the leg and buttocks and was subsequently taken to the hospital for treatment.
The investigation into McFarland's death is being handled by the Gary Police Department, with assistance from the Lake County Coroner's Office and the Lake County Crime Lab. Despite their efforts, no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been made in connection with the homicide. The case remains an ongoing investigation.
