A family outing to Skinner Playfield near Denby High School in Detroit ended in tragedy when 4-year-old Samir Grubbs was struck and killed by a bullet in a drive-by shooting on a Friday evening. Samir had just arrived at the playground and ran toward the equipment; he never got to go down the slide. The same attack also killed 18-year-old Daviyon Shelmonson-Bey, who reportedly tried to shield other children, and wounded a 17-year-old.

The shooting prompted vigils and community calls to rename the park in Samir’s honor. Family members described him as a bright child loved by everyone, and his mother said she wanted the park reclaimed as a safe place for children. Two men, Brandon Ware and William Wheeler, were arrested and charged with multiple offenses including first-degree murder in connection with the deaths.

Did anyone who was at Skinner Playfield that evening see anything that could help investigators?
