Deandre Joshua, a 20-year-old Black man who worked at a local Walmart and had graduated from Jennings Senior High School, was found dead inside a white Pontiac Grand Prix at the Canfield Green apartment complex in Ferguson, Missouri, on the morning of November 25, 2014. He had been shot once in the head and an accelerant had been used to set him on fire; the flames had mostly burned out before consuming the entire vehicle.

Joshua was a close friend of Dorian Johnson, the witness who had been with Michael Brown during the August police encounter. That connection prompted speculation his killing was retaliation, but police and family members said Joshua had not testified before the grand jury. The discovery came in the chaotic hours after the grand jury decision not to indict the officer, and the unrest and witnesses reluctant to speak complicated the investigation.

Authorities classified the death as a homicide, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Did anyone in the area that night see the Pontiac or notice suspicious activity near Canfield Green?
