La’Con Wilson, 36, was killed in a daylight drive‑by shooting in Detroit on the morning of Friday, August 5, 2011. He was sitting in his blue Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan at a traffic light at Hubbell and Schoolcraft around 10:30 a.m. when a dark‑colored Pontiac Grand Prix with tinted windows pulled up alongside. A suspect exited that vehicle and opened fire, riddling the van with bullets. Wilson suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene; a 24‑year‑old passenger in the van was shot in the arm and survived.

The shooter fled in the Grand Prix and has not been arrested. The motive has not been released. Crime Stoppers of Michigan has offered a cash reward and Wilson’s mother has publicly urged anyone with information to come forward. If anyone knew La’Con, was in that neighborhood that morning, or has information that could help identify the Grand Prix or its occupants, please share what is known with authorities.
