Colin Wright was 19 when he was found dead on August 6, 2011, on Pinehurst Street near Plymouth on Detroit’s northwest side. He had been shot in the back of the head, execution-style, and the Chevrolet Equinox he was in was later set on fire; investigators determined the vehicle had been stolen.

Family described Colin as smart and from a supportive home, stressing that his character wasn’t defined by any alleged associations. Crime Stoppers offered a $3,500 reward for information leading to an arrest, and law enforcement investigated, but no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified.

Anyone who knew Colin or has information about the Equinox, the shooting, or the theft of the vehicle is asked to come forward.
