GARY, INDIANA - A massive manhunt was underway early Sunday morning after a veteran Gary police officer was found shot to death in his patrol car.
Jeffrey Brady Westerfield, 47, a Gary resident and father of four, was found in his squad car after a citizen called the dispatch center at 5:45 a.m., Police Chief Wade Ingram Jr. said at a press conference.
Sunday was Westerfield’s birthday. He had been with the department since Aug. 29, 1995, Ingram said.
Ingram said the family had been notified, and that Westerfield had “four lovely daughters.”
He said police were following up on leads but had no one in custody.
Patrolman Daniel Perryman discovered the scene about 5:50 a.m.
