Men charged in 2022 murders of 2 women in Hobart, Indiana

It took more than three years, but charges have been filed in the deaths of two young women in Hobart, Indiana, back in 2022.

On Nov. 4, 2022, the bodies of Destiny Jackson, 20, and Nazirah Muhammad, 19, were discovered in their unit in the Haven Apartments complex, 418 Ruta Dr., when Hobart police came for a well-being check.

Both had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators said they had been shot the morning before.

Now, two men are charged in their deaths.

Amos Daylon Crim, 26, and Sa Quan Dajon Kirksey, 25, both of Gary, are charged with two counts of murder and additional counts of burglary, authorities said.

"Today is a step forward for my sister, Destiny. She was loved, she was brave, and she did not deserve what happened to her," said Jackson's sister, Sha Coleman.

"I feel like people all the time paint their relatives to be these people who are angels and don't do anything, but she was truly just a kid," said her sister, Dominique Coleman.

The organization "Case Files Chicago" also recognized Hobart police Cpl. Michael Gallagher, the lead investigator in the case. Jackson's sisters said, thanks to Gallagher, they never felt like the case went cold and never doubted justice would be served.
