Man faces prison term for firing gun in Gary's midtown section

CROWN POINT | A Gary man pleaded guilty to a weapons violation and related charges arising from his arrest last year for firing a gun in Gary's midtown section.

Diane Poulton, a spokeswoman for the Lake County prosecutor's office said Jeffrey Burgess, 31, faces a maximum term of more than 21 years in prison when Lake Criminal Court Judge Diane Boswell sentences him Aug. 27 for unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon and criminal mischief.

Burgess was scheduled to stand trial this week, but admitted he fired shots Aug. 15 in the 2000 block of Mark Luther King Drive into a privacy fence. He said he was upset because he had wanted to visit a liquor store for a drink but had to turn back to avoid meeting men with whom he had a dispute. -- BY BILL DOLAN, THE TIMES

Gary man receives 40 years in shooting death at gas station

A Gary man has agreed to a 40-year prison sentence for a 2002 murder at a Gary gas station.

Sean Christopher Castillo, now 29, will be sentenced July 24 for voluntary manslaughter in connection with the murder of Brian Spears.

On March 12, 2002, Castillo shot the 22-year-old Spears several times at the Super Duper Gas and Food Mart in the 5300 block of 15th Avenue in Gary, the Lake County prosecutor's office said. Spears, who reportedly was shot a couple of blocks from his home, died from his injuries.

Spears worked and lived at home, and was filling up his car with gas when someone drove by and sprayed the station with bullets, police said.

Castillo fled from police following the shooting and was arrested eight days later on the west side of Gary, a police report said

Police say dispute over woman led to a shooting death in Gary


GARY | Louis D. "Bulleye" Cole pounded on his ex-girlfriend's window early Sunday morning in the Delaney projects until the man inside her house ran to his car, then the men exchanged gunfire and Cole killed the 25-year-old Gary man with shots to the back, according to criminal charges filed Tuesday against Cole.

Cole, 29, of Gary, was charged in Lake Criminal Court with murdering Darritt Brown about 3 a.m. Sunday outside a home in the 2200 block of Carver Street in the housing projects off Harrison Street. Cole remained at Methodist Hospitals Northlake Campus on Tuesday as he recovered from gunshot wounds to the face and shoulder.

The woman in the middle of the dispute told police Brown, of the 1200 block of New Jersey Street, was visiting her house when Cole started leaving her threatening phone messages, an affidavit filed by Gary police shows. The woman was trying to talk Brown into leaving when Cole, who lives a few hundred feet from the homicide scene in the 2100 block of Polk Street, started banging on the window and yelling that he knew another man was inside, police said. The woman told police she sent Brown out the front door while she tried to occupy Cole at the back door.

Witnesses told police Cole aimed his gun at Brown's head and yelled at Brown to stop running, but Brown pulled his gun and the men traded shots, the affidavit states. The woman came out of the house and saw Brown try to use his cell phone, then collapse near his car, police said. Police said the woman's children were in the house during the shooting.

Cole's brother told investigators Cole left the house on Polk Street early Sunday, shots echoed, and Cole returned with wounds to the face and shoulder, police said. Cole's brother drove him to Methodist, the affidavit shows.

GARY Man arrested in meat cleaver attack

Police arrested a Gary man moments after he allegedly attacked a woman with a meat cleaver in Miller early Sunday.

Bennie Lee Martin, 38, was charged with attempted murder, robbery, criminal confinement and battery.

The victim, Kathryn Smith-Diakite, told Detective Robin Bolde she was on Lake Street shortly before 4 a.m. after departing a South Shore train when Martin began speaking to her, then suddenly became angry and he struck her with the cleaver, the probable cause affidavit states.

Martin forced her to walk with him to a vacant house where she escaped as he climbed in a window.

Patrolmen Jay Johnson saw Martin walking in the area with a cleaver and arrested him after Smith-Diakite called police.

Gary man charged in Friday shooting
* Charges expected today against second suspect in different shooting.

GARY -- The witnesses who saw Tony Johnson shot and killed late Friday tell a very different story than the one offered by suspect Steve Lonzo.

Lonzo, 27, of Gary was charged Monday with murder after admitting he "got fed up" with Johnson and "shot him in the head," the probable cause affidavit states.

Johnson, 39, of 965 Lane St., was pronounced dead shortly before midnight in the 1000 block of New Hampshire Street in Aetna. Investigators said he was shot at point-blank range, the affidavit states.

Friends who were with Johnson said he was working on the car in the street after it stalled, laughing and talking with them when Lonzo shot Johnson, then drove away. Witnesses heard no arguing between the two men, the affidavit states.

Lonzo told Detective Cpl. Edward Gonzalez he heard Johnson "running off at the mouth talkin' about what he would do to me," when he became angry and the two men started pushing each other. Lonzo claimed he grabbed the victim's gun and shot him with it, but Gonzalez recovered Johnson's gun from his belt later.

Johnson was the first of two homicides during the weekend.

The suspect in the second shooting death, Louis Cole, 29, was wounded and remains under police guard at The Methodist Hospitals in Merrillville pending charges expected to be filed today.

Witnesses told police Cole and Darritt Brown, 25, were arguing in the street in the 2200 block of Carver about 3 a.m. Sunday when Cole started shooting. Brown returned fire and struck Cole in the arm and face. Brown collapsed and died in the road, where the fire department was summoned later that morning to wash away the blood from the pavement.

Gary man gets 2 years for incest

Lake Superior Court Judge Salvador Vasquez sentenced a Gary man to two years in prison for incest.

The crime occurred May 28, 2006, in the parking lot of Ross Reformed Church, 3900 W. 41st Ave., Gary.

Black Oak man sitting on porch shot to death
* 18-year-old arrested after witnesses identify him and a juvenile.

September 2, 2009


GARY -- An 18-year-old Gary man has been charged with murder in connection with the shooting death of a man at a home in Black Oak on Monday.

Roberto Serrano Jr. faces 65 years in prison if convicted. He is being held in Lake County Jail without bond.

Police say a witness watched Serrano shoot and kill James A. Urbaszewski, 33, who was sitting on his front porch with his father and brother at 10:20 p.m.

Cpl. Gabrielle King said the men noticed three other males walking up and down the street that night, whispering and pointing to the house.

Urbaszewski's brother decided to go inside to get some water, King said. A short time later, he heard gunshots and Urbaszewski walked into the house saying "I've been shot, and those three guys were the ones who did it," according to police.

Meanwhile, another man had been watching from his truck as a male approached Urbaszewski and appeared to ask him for a cigarette, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in Lake County Superior Court.

Urbaszewski gave him the cigarette out of his mouth, the man told police, then turned around and began walking back toward his house. That's when another male ran toward Urbaszewski with a gun and shot him.

The two males then took off running, police said. The witness later identified Serrano from a photograph.

Urbaszewski was taken to the Methodist Hospitals in Gary. A spokesman for the Lake County Coroner's office said Urbaszewski was pronounced dead at 11:04 p.m.

The second suspect is being charged in Lake County Juvenile Court, according to the Prosecutor's office.

Husband finds wife shot dead
* Gary man found body after returning from work; no suspects in custody.
Comments

September 14, 2009
By Gitte Laasby, Post-Tribune staff writer

GARY -- A 51-year-old woman was killed by multiple gunshots in an apparent homicide in Gary on Saturday night or Sunday morning. Police are asking for the public's help solving the crime.

Loretta A. Henderson was pronounced dead at 8:05 a.m. Sunday after the Lake County Coroner's Office was dispatched to her home in the 900 block of Central Avenue in Gary.

Henderson's husband, Robert Henderson Sr., left for work about 9:50 p.m. Saturday. When he returned at about 7:30 a.m. Sunday, he found a floor lamp knocked over in the living room, wood chips and scattered papers on the floor, numerous bullet holes in the east wall and broken glass on the hallway floor, Gary Police Cpl. Gabrielle King said.

"He called out for his wife and got no answer. He proceeded to the bedroom. He found his wife, covered by blood, pretty much," she said.

Loretta Henderson was lying in bed under a blanket and had a gunshot wound to her temple. Some shell casings were left on the scene. Henderson's eye glasses were left in the doorway.

Robert Henderson called police.

King said police are not sure when the incident occurred and would like to hear from people with tips.

"Somebody may have just been driving by. Maybe they heard something or it was something they saw. We need to know, whatever it is," she said.

Anyone with tips can call Gary Police Detective Mike Barnes at 881-7434 or Detective Jeff Hemphill at 881-7435.

Gary man pleads guilty in infant's death

Faces maximum 65 years in prison when sentenced

Susan Brown - susan.brown@nwi.com, (219) 662-5325 | Posted: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 3:15 pm

CROWN POINT | Christopher Washington faces a possible 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to felony battery Tuesday in connection to the death of his girlfriend's 5-month-old niece, Lake County prosecutors announced.

Prosecutors had charged Christopher Washington, then 18, of Gary, with murder, battery and aggravated battery in the October 2007 death of 5-month-old Eternity Brame.


According to prosecutors, Washington was walking to his girlfriend's house on Fillmore Street in Gary carrying the 5-month-old along with several young boys, when he struck Eternity several times with his fist. The child was later found non-responsive and pronounced dead at Methodist Hospitals Northlake Campus in Gary.

An autopsy revealed the child died as a result of blunt force trauma from extensive laceration of the liver, contusion hemorrhages of the abdomen and chest with internal hemorrhages, fracture of the skill and contusion of the brain.

If convicted, Washington had faced a maximum sentence of 65 years in prison.

He is scheduled for sentencing Nov. 17.

Convicted murderer sentenced to 10 years for armed robbery


Posted: Saturday, September 26, 2009 12:00 am

A Gary man was sentenced to an agreed term of 10 years in prison for armed robbery.

Cory Carter, 36, was driving in the area of Fourth Avenue east of Hancock Street in Gary on Aug. 4, 2007, when he jumped out of the vehicle, pointed a loaded snub-nosed revolver at a victim in a vehicle next to him and demanded money, the Lake County prosecutor's office said Friday. The victim gave Carter $97, and Carter drove away.

In April, Carter was sentenced to 60 years in prison for a 1997 murder and attempted murder after being convicted by a Lake Superior Court jury. In that case, Carter shot to death Kevin Taylor, 21, and injured Taylor's brother Frank Taylor, 23, while they were standing in Gary's Duneland housing project. - BY TIMES STAFF
