Christopher Joseph Best, 61, was killed during a robbery on the evening of January 21, 2013, in Detroit’s Woodbridge Historic District. Best had driven to the 4500 block of Avery Street around 7:20 p.m. to deliver a $1,000 cash payment for contracted work at his home. Outside the residence he was ambushed by an unknown assailant who fired multiple shots from a long gun, took the cash and Best’s iPhone, and fled in a sport utility vehicle. Best died on the sidewalk from his injuries.

Investigators later released a composite showing a man described as about 23 to 24 years old, dark complexion, roughly 5 feet 6 inches tall with a medium build, distinctive scars on both sides of his face, wearing a hoodie and sporting a five o’clock shadow. A Crime Stoppers reward was offered, but reports later in 2013 indicated no arrest had been made.

Did anyone in Woodbridge or the Detroit area see a sport utility vehicle leaving the 4500 block of Avery Street that evening, or recognize the man in the composite?
