A 34-year-old woman was found fatally stabbed Tuesday in Gary, officials said.
Police responded at 10:52 p.m. to the 300 block of Tyler Street in Gary for a welfare check, Gary police Cmdr. Jack Hamady said in a news release.
The home was secured, “and officers could not make entry,” Hamady said. After canvassing the area, officers wanted to check inside the residence, he said.
A relative was contacted and let officers inside, where police found a woman “with a stab wound” who was “lifeless,” Hamady said.
The Lake County coroner’s office identified the woman as Mary Rawson, of Gary. Her death was ruled a homicide, according to a news release.
“At this time the investigation is underway and in the preliminary stages,” Hamady said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Cpl. Edward Gonzalez with the Lake County/Gary Metro Homicide Unit at 219-755-3855 or the crime tip line at 866-274-6347.
