On the night of August 27, 2015, 23-year-old Black male Michael Stewart was shot and killed while walking on a residential street in Detroit, Michigan. An unknown person wearing a hood approached Stewart and opened fire; Stewart was mortally wounded at the scene and died before emergency responders could save him.

The late hour left few witnesses and investigators struggled to identify the shooter, whose face was concealed. Detectives searched for evidence and questioned the neighborhood, but the initial inquiry produced no clear description or motive. The case later went cold as leads dried up; no arrests have been made and no charges filed. Community appeals, including from Crime Stoppers, have sought tips without success.

Did anyone in the Detroit area at the time see or hear anything that might still help bring answers in Michael Stewart’s killing?
