Deavon Wilson was 17 when he was found dead on the morning of June 22, 2011, on Detroit’s east side. His body was discovered in a grassy area near Philip and Waveney Streets shortly after firefighters and police responded to a report of a Yukon Denali SUV on fire nearby. The SUV had been stolen from a home about two miles away earlier that morning.

Investigators say the theft involved an exchange of gunfire at the house. As Wilson fled in the stolen vehicle he reportedly called a friend saying he was being chased by the truck’s owner. He was found near the burning wreckage with multiple gunshot wounds, including a fatal shot to the face. The vehicle fire complicated the scene, but witness statements and the earlier home-invasion reports were used to reconstruct the timeline. Detroit police said no suspect in the shooting was in custody; two young men were interviewed as witnesses.

Does anyone have information about the chase or the home invasion that could help clarify who fired the fatal shots?
