Rodney Yeargin, 29, known onstage as Doughboy Roc, was found shot to death on the afternoon of October 9, 2017, inside his white Hyundai on Stoepel Street on Detroit’s west side. He sustained multiple gunshot wounds, including to his ear and shoulder, and was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting occurred in daylight and police initially had no suspect or clear motive.

Yeargin was a prominent member of hip-hop collective Doughboyz Cashout and had a growing local profile; his death prompted public grief from fans and fellow artists and a Crime Stoppers cash reward for tips. He was also a father, and his family publicly appealed for information. In the months before the killing he had a criminal history that included a felony firearms conviction and was under federal scrutiny by the DEA after agents seized more than $55,000 in cash from him at Detroit Metropolitan Airport; his lawyer said the money was for a car purchase.

As reported, no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced, leaving the case unsolved. If anyone knew Rodney, his movements that day, or has information that could help, please come forward.
