Donyale Wise was 38 when he was fatally shot in Detroit on September 12, 2016.

Investigative capacity in Detroit that year is noted as strained: the Detroit Police Department carried a heavy caseload in 2016, with limited resources and personnel, and officials reported reluctance among potential witnesses to come forward. Those factors, along with a reported scarcity of physical evidence and eyewitness accounts in this case, have left the investigation at a standstill. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced.

Anyone with information about Donyale Wise, his movements in September 2016, or the area where the shooting occurred is asked to contact the Detroit Police Department.
