GARY | A man who was detained Sunday after a fatal shooting in Gary has been released as the Lake County prosecutor's office reviews evidence in the case, police said.

The man, who police did not identify because he has not been charged, was one of several people questioned after Terry L. Nicholson, 29, was found dead.

The prosecutor's office took the case under advisement Monday, police said.

A relative of one of the people questioned said Sunday that her family member shot Nicholson in self-defense. Her family had considered Nicholson a friend, she said.

Nicholson, of Gary's Glen Park neighborhood, died from multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Lake County coroner's office. Police listed Nicholson's address in East Chicago.

Police were called to a home in the 3700 block of Madison Street about 4:15 p.m. Sunday for a report of a disturbance, police said.

The first officer to arrive was met by a man at the door who said another man was dead inside, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call police Detective Dan Callahan at (219) 881-1210.
