Jury selection started Monday for a Gary man charged with killing a police dog, then shooting at a cop while trying to evade arrest.

K-9 Falco sits with Gary handler, Corporal Angel Lozano, between training sessions on Monday, June 10, 2019, for the first day of a weeklong K-9 training operation at the Multi Agency Academic Cooperative in Valparaiso. Falco was fatally shot while pursuing a suspect in July 2023.

Around 1:45 p.m. July 13, 2023, police said a Ford Fusion belonging to Patterson crossed the intersection of Ridge Road and Grant Street in Gary, where a license plate reader determined that Patterson had multiple active felony warrants pending against him out of Gary, including charges of aggravated battery and criminal recklessness.

Falco was shot during the short chase, and he died from his wounds in the back of the residence. Falco served eight years with the Gary Police Department, with more than 1,000 deployments, apprehending suspects and seizing numerous drugs, according to Gary police Chief Anthony Titus. When questioned by police, Patterson said that he was at a relative’s house on East 35th Place when Lozano approached him, asking for his name, the affidavit states.
