Two Gary teenagers are charged as adults with murder in perpetration of a robbery and felony robbery in
the death of Adriana Saucedo, 27. Shaun Thompson, 16, and Jonathan Brown, 17, remain in custody without bond until an initial hearing scheduled via video conference for Wednesday before Porter Circuit Court Judge Mary Harper.

Brown, who police took in for questioning on Nov. 22 and was accompanied by his parents and attorney Robert Lewis, told police that while the three were on their way to Saucedo’s residence, the youngest teen “made a plan with everyone in the vehicle that they will be ripping Saucedo off and robbing her of her money,” documents said.
Brown told police that “no one in the vehicle had any marijuana with them to sell to Saucedo," adding in charging documents that the vehicle was low on gas so they went to a Luke gas station and used $20 provided by Saucedo to purchase gas before pulling into the parking lot where Thompson shot Saucedo.
