Orlando Thomas, 42, was fatally shot on the afternoon of October 20, 2020, after a verbal dispute at a car wash on East McNichols on Detroit’s east side. The argument escalated when another man produced a firearm and fired multiple shots, striking Thomas. He was transported to a nearby hospital but succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.

Police canvassed the area and asked witnesses for descriptions of the shooter and any vehicle used to flee, while Thomas’s family publicly appealed for information. No suspect identity or arrests have been announced and the case remains an open homicide investigation.

If anyone has information about the shooting, the car wash, or who was involved, please share what is known with investigators.
