A Gary man has been charged in connection with a fatal shooting Monday in Portage.
Montrell McLaurin Jr., 19, was charged with murder, murder in perpetration of a robbery and attempted robbery, a Level 2 felony, according to court records, in the fatal shooting of 19-year-old Darion Anderson of Hammond.
Portage police officers responded to a call for a person entering a home and shooting a man in the 5300 block of Aspen Avenue at 12:35 a.m. Monday, according to records. The shooter drove off in a dark gray SUV, according to records. An autopsy Tuesday found Anderson died as a result of multiple gunshot wounds and the cause of death was homicide.
A witness who was inside the house when the shooting occurred told police she heard about eight to 10 gunshots. The witness walked toward the living room, turned the corner and saw a man point a gun at her and told her not to move before leaving the house, according to court records.
