Byron Henderson, 50, was found shot to death in a desolate section of northwest Detroit in the early morning hours of Wednesday, August 23, 2017. His body was discovered about 2:35 a.m. in the 15000 block of Westbrook Street near Pilgrim Street, an area described as having numerous abandoned homes and vacant lots that complicated early witness development.

Detectives said Henderson lived in Lansing, over an hour from where his body was found, and appeared to have no established ties to the Detroit neighborhood where he was killed. Few details are known about why Henderson was in that part of the city that night.

If anyone knew Henderson’s movements that evening or saw a vehicle or person in the Westbrook and Pilgrim area around 2:30 a.m., please come forward with information.
