HAMMOND â A hearing-impaired 82-year-old man was not intoxicated and did not have a gun when he was shot by Gary police Nov. 7, 2019, a recently filed wrongful death lawsuit states.
Police have said Gary officers encountered Melvin Bouler while responding to a report of an intoxicated man with a weapon in the 2400 block of Roosevelt Street and shot him after he failed to follow officers orders.
Bouler, of Gary, died Jan. 4, 2020, at a Chicago hospital from the wounds he suffered in the shooting, according to the Cook County medical examiner s office. Gary police counted Bouler s death in 2020 as a homicide.
In a lawsuit filed last month in U.S. District Court in Hammond, attorneys for Bouler s family said Bouler s homicide was a result of hyper-aggressive policing by the responding officers.
