On Monday afternoon, January 30, 2012, 47-year-old Carlus Wade was walking in the 18000 block of Margareta Street near Greenview Street in Detroit when the man he was with produced a handgun and shot him multiple times. The shooting occurred at about 3:00 p.m.; the shooter ran south on Greenview and left Wade fatally wounded.

Police described the suspect as a Black male, about 19 to 22 years old, approximately six feet two inches tall and 190 pounds, with a goatee. He was last seen wearing a dark blue skullcap and a three-quarter length blue jacket. Because Wade was walking with the shooter, investigators noted he may have known his assailant.

Wade’s parents, Andrew and Sandra Cunningham, publicly appealed for information and Crime Stoppers offered a reward for tips leading to an arrest. No public reports of arrests or suspect identifications have been released. If anyone knew Carlus, saw him that afternoon, or has information about the man seen with him, please share what you know.
