John DeJuan Hatcher Jr., known to family as Lil Juannie, was born July 15, 1990, and was killed on Monday, August 5, 2013, in Detroit. He was 23 at the time of his death. Described as a jack of all trades who enjoyed football, Madden, music and art, Hatcher trained as a Pharmacy Technician at Everest Career Institute and worked as an assistant at Helping Hands Adult Foster Care caring for disabled adults.

Authorities have characterized his death as a death by force or murder. Investigators have faced a major obstacle: a lack of cooperation from witnesses, and no information about specific suspects or arrests has been provided.

If anyone knew John, saw something in Detroit around August 5, 2013, or has information that could help, please come forward.
