On the afternoon of Wednesday, May 20, 2026, siblings Raye Johnson, 33, and Tacoreya Rita Johnson, 27, were fatally shot on McKinney Street on Detroit’s east side. Both were seated in separate vehicles outside a relative’s home when a lone assailant walked up and fired at least a dozen rounds into the cars. Rita’s one-month-old son was found unharmed in the backseat of her vehicle.

Police describe the attack as targeted. Investigators have linked the killings to an escalating online feud involving Raye, who used the stage names Ray Ray and Oilbase Deadzoneraye DaGoat and allegedly posted provocative content and taunts in the days before the shooting. One line of inquiry considers whether a fake social media account may have impersonated Raye and intensified the conflict. Authorities have been reviewing neighborhood surveillance and identifying persons of interest; no arrests have been announced.

Did anyone in the area see suspicious activity on McKinney Street that afternoon or recognize anyone who might be connected to the online feud?
