Dionycio Coach, 27, known to friends and family as Mase, was found shot to death late the night of Thursday, September 3, 2015, inside his 2015 black Ford Edge on Detroit’s west side between Poplar and Buchanan streets. He had been driving to pick up his girlfriend after receiving a phone call from an unidentified caller who asked him to meet on 18th Street. A 911 caller reported hearing gunshots shortly after midnight, and Detroit police located him behind the wheel; investigators determined he had been shot to death.

A graduate of Detroit City High and a member of Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church, Coach had worked winterizing homes for Scorpion III and was expecting a daughter. His child, Maci, was born seven months after his killing. By July 2016 the murder investigation remained open with no arrests; Crime Stoppers offered up to a $2,500 reward for tips that lead to an arrest and conviction.
