On the evening of Father’s Day, Sunday June 20, 2010, 39-year-old Phillip Wade II returned to his home on the 4000 block of Bishop Street in Detroit after dinner with his son and interrupted a burglary in progress. Wade, a fireman at American Axle, and his son saw movement inside and called police instead of entering. Two intruders, described as young Black males about 18 to 20 years old, jumped from a window and fled; Wade and his brother chased them but did not catch them.

When they came back, a third suspect was inside an upstairs bedroom and jumped from a window to escape. Wade confronted that suspect at the front of the house; during the struggle the suspect produced a knife and fatally stabbed Wade. The 18-year-old suspect was also wounded in the confrontation and later died. Police and Crime Stoppers offered a cash reward and sought help identifying the two who fled, but those two have never been publicly identified or arrested and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone have memories or information about activity on Bishop Street that night or recognizing the two who jumped from the window?
