Hammond police released a sketch Wednesday of a person of interest in the fatal shooting of a 2-year-old girl last summer in the northwest Indiana town.
Police believe the person of interest to be a man between 18 and 25 years old, with a medium height and thin build, Hammond police said.
He’s wanted for questioning in the death of Joette “Jo Jo” Malone, who was caught in the crossfire of a shooting July 29 at the Kennedy Crossing apartment complex in the 3300 block of Craig Drive, police said. She died two days later at Comer Children’s Hospital in Chicago.
