Dailyn B. Ferguson was a 23-year-old entrepreneur and owner of DFKickz, a high-end shoe store in Lyndhurst, Ohio. On Mother’s Day, May 8, 2022, around 6:30 p.m., he was sitting in his car in the store parking lot on Mayfield Road when a blue 2008 Volkswagen Jetta pulled in and an occupant opened fire, striking him at least once, including a shot to the head. The stolen Jetta fled the scene. Ferguson was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his injuries on May 12, 2022.

Lyndhurst police treated the shooting as a targeted attack. Officers later found the unoccupied stolen Jetta at a Cleveland apartment complex and processed it for evidence with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. The investigation identified four suspects who were teenagers at the time. In September 2023 charges were filed against Jahseem Sales, Abu Hakim, Lae’Juan Nasir Robinson, and Reginald Bruce Jr., each charged with aggravated murder with firearm specifications. One of the cases concluded with Reginald Bruce Jr. sentenced to 25 years to life in July 2026; the other three cases remained pending and the family said they would continue to pursue justice.

Does anyone have information about the shooting or contacts who knew Dailyn or his business?
