Lajoy Alford was 21 when she was found dead in Detroit on June 8, 2011, a victim of an execution-style shooting. She was in a car on Orleans Street with two other people from Akron, Ohio: 26-year-old Donnell Lewis and a woman identified in some reports as 22-year-old Shaynese Sykes and in others as Lajoy’s sister, 21-year-old Zipporah Alford. All three had traveled from Akron to Detroit and were discovered shot inside the vehicle; the car was later towed away with the bodies still inside.

Neighbors reported hearing no gunshots where the car was found. Investigators noted that Lewis had a long criminal history, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. The family, including Lajoy’s young daughter My’Joy, has been left without answers.

Does anyone have information about Lajoy, the Akron trip, or events around Orleans Street on June 8, 2011?
