Albert L. Conner Jr. was 26 when he died in Detroit in early January 2016. An online obituary lists his birth date as December 10, 1989, and a death date of January 7, 2016, and was published through the James H. Cole Home for Funerals. The notice is a memorial announcement and contains no details about where he was when he died, what led to his death, or whether anyone else was involved.

Publicly accessible postings do not name any suspects, list charges, or indicate arrests or court proceedings related to his death. The surviving information mainly offers a place for remembrance rather than an account of the circumstances.
