Arrest in House Hit by Gunfire

(Michigan City, IN) - Charges have been filed in connection with gunshots striking a Michigan City residence several weeks ago.

 

Ti Yon Riley, 23, of Gary is in custody. 

 

Michigan City Police said the investigation shows Riley from the front passenger seat of a car shot over the vehicle and struck a house five times.  This occurred on December 1st in the 600 block of York Street on the city’s north side.

 

There were no injuries.

 

Police noted that one of the bullets, though, wound up in a bedroom where a woman and her four-year-old son were sleeping.

 

According to authorities, video surveillance helped solve the case. Within minutes, the driver of the car in the video was stopped in the area of York Street and East 9th Street. Quickly, it was learned Riley had allegedly just stepped out of the vehicle before it was pulled over.

 

Riley, who was booked into the La Porte County Jail just over a week ago, is charged with Criminal Recklessness and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Serious Violent Felon.
