On the morning of September 18, 2012, gunfire in a Detroit home on Marlowe Street, between Fenkell and Grand River, left two men dead. Officers found the front door slightly ajar and discovered 50-year-old Darnell Campbell and a man in his 20s, identified as Jimmie Johnson, both suffering gunshot wounds. Campbell was pronounced dead at the scene; Johnson was taken to a hospital but later died, turning the incident into a double homicide.

Initial reports listed Campbell’s age as in his 40s, but a public homicide list later confirmed he was 50. Investigators described the motive as unclear and released no immediate information about suspects. Crime Stoppers and the Detroit Police Department appealed for tips as the investigation began.

If anyone in the neighborhood that morning saw or heard anything that could help, please come forward with information.
