On September 24, 2012, 25-year-old Reginald Jones was found shot to death near his taxi at the intersection of West McNichols Road and Sorrento Street on Detroit’s northwest side. Jones, an African American man who worked as a cab driver and was on duty at the time, was discovered in the 13000 block of McNichols near his vehicle with fatal gunshot wounds.

Detectives processed the scene and sought witnesses who might have seen a passenger or a confrontation before the shooting, but immediate details about what led to the gunfire were scarce. Police checked leads consistent with crimes against livery drivers, including robbery or a dispute over a fare. No information has been released indicating a suspect was arrested or charged, and the case later appeared among many unsolved homicides from that violent year in the city.

If anyone remembers seeing a taxi or activity around West McNichols and Sorrento on September 24, 2012, please share what was seen or heard with Detroit police.
