The Hammond Police have reported a homicide that took place in a parking lot of a Chevron gas station at 1:15 am on June 4.
"Reviewing security camera footage, officers observed a gray sedan parked at a gas pump along with a white sedan parked at a neighboring gas pump. The footage showed two suspects wearing dark clothing exit the front and rear passenger side of the white sedan," say Hammond Police. "The suspects were armed with what appeared to be AR-style pistols and began firing at the rear passenger side of the gray sedan. The female victim was seated inside the gray sedan at the time."
