Rakheem Cannon was 26 when he was shot while driving through Detroit’s west side on the afternoon of April 7, 2017. Just before 2:30 p.m., two vehicles sped down Schoolcraft and stopped at Fielding Street. Surveillance footage from a distance shows a passenger exit a blue Chevy Trailblazer, raise a handgun, and open fire into Cannon’s car. He was struck multiple times in the head and chest and later died at the hospital.

People nearby—parishioners at a church function, neighbors working in their yards and others on the block—were close enough to hear the shooting, though the video quality was low and far away. Investigators described the incident as appearing to stem from a neighborhood beef but said they could not identify what the conflict was or clearly identify the shooter or the Trailblazer’s plates. A $2,500 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest.

If anyone recognizes the blue Chevy Trailblazer, the people in or around it that afternoon, or knows what sparked this confrontation, please contact Crime Stoppers with any tips.
