A pre-dawn shooting on April 18, 2016, left 26-year-old Carl Jackson dead and a vehicle passenger critically wounded outside the Spotlight Liquor at McNichols and Telegraph on Detroit’s west side. Jackson was seated inside a Dodge Durango when the passenger side was sprayed with more than a dozen bullets; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police reviewed surveillance footage from the liquor store in the immediate investigation but initially had not identified suspects or made arrests. The motive for the attack was not established in those early reports. Community discussion in later years indicates the case may not have been solved.

If anyone witnessed the shooting that morning or has information about the Dodge Durango or the people involved, please come forward.
