In a chilling turn of events at Portside Pub in Hammond, Indiana, the alleged perpetrator of a deadly shooting rampage is none other than 31-year-old Caprice Cashaw.
According to eyewitnesses, Cashaw, driven by a reported gambling loss of up to $10k at Horseshoe Hammond, erupted in a violent altercation outside Portside Pub with his girlfriend. Two brave individuals, a patron and an employee, stepped in to break up the scuffle, but their heroic actions unfortunately seemed to trigger a burst of uncontrollable fury in Cashaw[1][3].
Cashaw, enraged, responded by opening fire, taking the lives of the intervener and the employee, critically wounding his girlfriend with 10 bullets, and indiscriminately firing more rounds.
The victims of this horrific tragedy were identified as Paul Olivares, 25, and Lorraine Reyna, 59, both from Whiting, Indiana. As the shockwaves from this senseless tragedy ripple through the community, authorities continue to investigate the motives behind this bloodbath.
Cashaw, of Merrillville, Indiana, is currently in police custody, though no formal charges have been filed yet[1][3][4]. However, with the mounting evidence against him, it seems only a matter of time before justice is served.
