Michael Perkins, a 22-year-old Black man, was killed in a violent carjacking on June 20, 2011, on the 16800 block of Ardmore Street in Detroit. Police say two men approached his parked Mercury Marquis, threw him out of the car, shot him, and then drove away in the vehicle, leaving him in the street.

Perkins’ mother, Jackie Horne, had already lost another son in October 2009 and in August 2011 publicly appealed for the community’s help, urging anyone with information to come forward. As of that month, no arrests had been made and the case remained unsolved.

If anyone has information about who approached the car that night or where the Mercury Marquis was last seen after the shooting, please contact the Detroit police.
