Tyrell Cole, listed in some reports as Terell Martin-Coleman, was 16 when he was killed in the early hours of August 19, 2016, outside his family’s home on Detroit’s east side. He was standing on Roxbury Street near Casino Avenue, an area near I-94, when gunfire erupted from a passing car in what police described as a drive-by. Family members were nearby; relatives rushed him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators said the shots came from a dark or black sedan and were seeking two male suspects connected to that vehicle, but no detailed descriptions of the shooters or the car were released and no arrests were announced in the immediate aftermath. Officers canvassed the neighborhood but found little cooperation or eyewitness information; at least one report noted no shell casings were recovered at the scene.

Does anyone who lived on Roxbury Street or nearby on August 19, 2016, remember anything that could help explain what happened that night?
