Lord Spencer Nobles, 40, was shot and killed in Detroit during the early morning hours of May 25, 2012. Police were called to the 5000 block of Chatsworth Street after a report of gunfire at about 1:25 a.m.; when officers arrived they found Nobles and Cheniqua Edwards-Hawes suffering fatal gunshot wounds.
