Fourteen-year-old Dionte Dixon was found shot to death outside a home on Detroit’s east side in the winter of 2014. At the time he was under a court order to wear an electronic tether, but the device’s battery had died and he was not being actively monitored.

Wayne County Sheriff’s Department warrant enforcement deputies had been searching for Dionte to return him to supervision, but on the day they were looking for him the unit was disbanded and officers were reassigned to the county jail amid budget cuts and overtime concerns. Family members and union officials have said the reassignment removed a layer of oversight for at-risk youth and may have contributed to the circumstances that left Dionte vulnerable.

No arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly announced. Does anyone have information about Dionte, where he spent his time, or what happened that winter in 2014?
