DaJuan Malik Thomas, a 38-year-old father of five, was fatally shot on the evening of April 9, 2012, after leaving a convenience store on West McNichols Road at West Outer Drive in Detroit. Witnesses and surveillance place the shooting at about 7:00 p.m.; Thomas was shot twice in the back and the shooter fled on foot. Security cameras later showed a blue Crown Victoria dropping off the shooter and picking him up after the killing. The car had distinctive features: missing front hubcaps, custom chrome door-post trim, and a rear body from a Mercury Grand Marquis.

One camera also captured the shooter wearing a black Chicago Bulls cap. The following day, a man named Everege Vernor Dickens reported his 1999 Ford Crown Victoria had been shot at on the expressway; that car matched the getaway vehicle description and a black Bulls cap was found in its trunk when impounded. Dickens was eventually tried and convicted for his role as the getaway driver. The actual shooter who fired the fatal shots has not been identified.

Does anyone have information about the shooter or the distinctive vehicle seen in the surveillance footage?
