On February 23, 2012, two men were found fatally shot at a commercial property at 7303 West McNichols Road on Detroit’s west side. The victims were identified as 20-year-old Black male Quentin Sandelin and 50-year-old Frederick Parker. The site has been described in later reports as an auto service station in the Bagley/Fitzgerald neighborhood near the University of Detroit Mercy.

Detroit Police Department Homicide detectives canvassed the area for witnesses and surveillance, but the immediate aftermath offered little public information about motive—whether robbery, a personal dispute, or another circumstance. No specific suspects were publicly named, and no arrest records directly linked to these murders have been found in accessible databases; the case appears to have gone cold. The property stayed vacant and blighted for nearly a decade before being slated for redevelopment in 2021 as a mixed-use residential project.

Does anyone have information about Quentin Sandelin, Frederick Parker, or the events at 7303 West McNichols Road that could help move this case forward?
