A violent shooting in Detroit’s east side neighborhood killed 17-year-old Dwayne Pearson, also known as Dre, in the early hours of March 4, 2011. Police were called for reports of shots fired and arrived about 12:40 a.m. in the 11800 block of Morang Drive, where they found Pearson with a severe gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The circumstances that led to the shooting were not immediately clear and no suspects were publicly identified in the days after the killing. Crime Stoppers of Michigan later publicized the case and offered a cash reward for information, and the homicide was listed among Detroit’s unsolved murders from 2011.
