On October 2, 2016, 23-year-old Reuben Rambus was fatally shot inside his car in Detroit during daylight hours. The killing was described as brazen and underscored ongoing gun violence in the city. A candlelight vigil held for Rambus was itself disrupted when gunfire struck those who had gathered, leaving additional people injured and deepening the community’s grief.

No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced in connection with Reuben Rambus’s murder; the case remains unsolved and his family continues without answers or justice. If anyone knew Reuben, saw him on October 2, 2016, or has information about the shooting or the subsequent violence at the vigil, please come forward.
