Myles Williams Beach, a 37-year-old Black/African American man, was fatally shot on February 22, 2018, in Merrillville, Indiana. Known affectionately as Myles Beach, he was born in Gary, Indiana, on October 1, 1980. He was a gregarious and beloved member of his community, known for his passion for cooking and working on cars. He was an entrepreneur, operating his own lawn care service, and was known to be deeply involved in his local community.
The circumstances surrounding his death
were not widely reported, and for a time, there was no publicly available information regarding any suspects or arrests in connection with the shooting. This lack of information was a source of pain for his family and friends, who remembered him as a loving son, father, brother, and friend. He is survived by his mother and several children.
Further investigation into his death revealed a possible connection to a credit card skimming device. While details of the investigation have not been broadly publicized, a comment on a memorial page dedicated to him suggests that an individual was eventually apprehended and sentenced to 80 years for his murder. However, official confirmation of this sentencing and the suspect's identity are not available in the public domain. The available information focuses more on celebrating the life of a man who was a significant and positive presence in his community.
