Gary mayor addresses investigation into Nicole Mabon-Brewer's death

Gary Mayor Eddie Melton has confirmed the city is distancing itself from the ongoing investigation into the 2025 death of Nicole Mabon-Brewer. To avoid conflicts of interest, the case has been handed over to the Indiana State Police and a special prosecutor. The family of the deceased has previously accused her husband, former councilman Ron Brewer, of involvement in the death, prompting calls for a transparent and independent review.
