On a Sunday evening in August 2013 in Detroit, 21-year-old Devoe Tyreke Conley was standing in front of a home on Craft Street when a van carrying more than one person pulled up. After a verbal exchange, a Black male in the passenger seat opened fire and fatally wounded Conley. The van, driven by a woman, then fled the scene. Conley, a young father who had been playing with his seven-month-old son about an hour earlier, died of multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene around 6 p.m.

Family members say Conley’s body remained on his front lawn for several hours before being taken to the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office; the office said the wait was under five hours, attributing the delay to a high case load and only one coroner on duty that evening. Reports describe the vehicle and its occupants but do not identify the woman driver or the male shooter. No arrests, charges, or public identifications of suspects have been reported.

Does anyone have information about the van, its occupants, or the night on Craft Street that could help bring answers to the family?
