Tyrone L. Jackson, Jr., 24, is charged with assisting a criminal. Prosecutors allege Jackson allowed Alex C. Hughes to hide in his Gary house for more than a week, despite knowing Hughes was wanted for his role in the Sept. 30 shooting.
Jackson pleaded not guilty Wednesday in Lake Criminal Court. His defense attorney requested a reduction of Jackson’s $50,000 surety bond, but a Monday hearing on that request was cancelled. An omnibus hearing has been scheduled for Dec. 11.
Hughes allegedly shot a 25-year-old man and his son outside a Walmart store in Hobart. He faces charges that include attempted murder and criminal gang activity.
