Police said Thursday they're seeking information on the whereabouts of a 45-year-old man, who is accused of fatally shooting another man last year during an argument about dogs.



Tomecko T. Johnson, whose last known address was in Gary, was charged in September 2020 with murder and felony battery by means of a deadly weapon in connection with the shooting July 8, 2020, in the 1200 block of Montana Street in Gary's Aetna section.



Charges unsealed this week show Johnson is accused of fatally shooting Terrance Turner, pistol-whipping Turner's girlfriend in the head and shooting and wounding the couple's dog.



Turner, 27, of Merrillville, was pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting.



Witnesses told police Johnson, whose relative lived in the area, previously had a problem with the couple walking their dogs in a field where Montana Street ends, Lake Criminal Court records show.

Johnson and a relative of Turner's girlfriend were familiar with each other, but their friendship ended in spring 2017, court records state.



Witnesses told police Johnson began arguing with Turner and his girlfriend about their two dogs while Johnson was in the area on a scooter.

Turner's girlfriend told police Johnson pulled a gun, shot one of her dogs and moved to shoot her, but Turner jumped between them and was shot.



The girlfriend's relative told police she saw Johnson take a swing at Turner's girlfriend, who then attempted to hit Johnson, but they both missed, court records state.



The relative said Johnson got off his scooter, pointed a gun at Turner's girlfriend, shot the dog and pointed the gun at the girlfriend again. Turner jumped in front of his girlfriend before Johnson started shooting, and Johnson "emptied out his clip into Turner," court documents allege.



The girlfriend told police she charged Johnson, knocking him off his scooter, and he hit her in the head with the gun. The couple's second dog attacked Johnson, and he fled on foot, leaving the scooter behind, records state.



Anyone with information about Johnson's whereabouts is asked to call Detective Sgt. Ed Gonzalez at 219-755-3855. To remain anonymous, call 866-CRIME-GP.

Thoughts? As of today, December 30, 2021, Tomecko still has a warrant flag in Indiana's Odyssey court records database. The news article was from October so thankfully the local media is still covering this manhunt. Tomecko should be considered extremely dangerous in my view and hopefully he will be arrested soon.
