High School Party Ends In Murder, Father’s Efforts Result In Justice: The Case Of Keisha Hawkins

On July 24th, 2011, just days before her 18th birthday, 17-year-old Ne’Keisha “Keisha” Hodges-Hawkins was at a party in Krueger Memorial Park in Michigan City, Indiana, when gunfire broke out in a crowd of more than 100 people. Keisha was struck and killed, and despite the number of witnesses, no one initially came forward with information. For years, the case remained unsolved… until Keisha’s father began searching for answers himself, turning to social media to push for justice and uncover the truth about what happened that night.
