Man Charged With Opening Fire on Trick-Or-Treaters, Killing Young Teen

A cold-hearted Indiana man opened fire on a group of trick-or-treaters on Halloween, killing one and wounding another, police said.

Desmond Crews, 23, of Gary, was charged Wednesday with murder and attempted murder in Sunday’s shooting that killed 13-year-old Thomas DeLaCruz Jr., and wounded another 13-year-old boy in Hammond, the Times of Northwest Indiana reported.

Crews — who was arrested after a father of one of the trick-or-treaters chased him — told cops he was handed a gun and felt compelled to shoot as his companions opened fire, court documents show.

Police said an investigation into other possible suspects was ongoing.

Thomas’ mother, Jasmine Anderson, said her son from East Chicago, Indiana, was celebrating Halloween in his grandmother’s neighborhood with an aunt and friends when he was shot. Police said the gunfire erupted roughly 30 minutes after the city’s trick-or-treating had officially ended.
