On the morning of March 24, 2011, a 52-year-old Black woman, Ladawn Graves, was found unresponsive in front of a residence in the 6000 block of Hazlett Street on Detroit’s west side, near Tireman Street and Livernois Avenue. First responders determined she had died of a gunshot wound and the scene was treated as a homicide.

By March 2012 the case remained unsolved. Family members made a public appeal for witnesses, and Crime Stoppers offered a reward of up to $2,500 and distributed flyers describing the circumstances.

If anyone on Detroit’s west side that morning saw anything or has information about Ladawn Graves’ killing, please come forward.
