Shortly after 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, August 9, 2026, multiple shots were fired in the parking lot of the Hidden Gem restaurant on West Nine Mile Road in Southfield, Michigan, leaving two men dead and a third wounded. One of the victims, 24-year-old Christopher Griffith Jr. of Redford Township, was found by police in a hallway with a single gunshot wound to his lower leg and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives learned two other men had been privately transported to separate hospitals. One, 28-year-old Johnny Jackson of Harper Woods, died at the hospital from multiple gunshot wounds. A 31-year-old man from New Haven was treated for a non-life-threatening graze wound and reportedly did not cooperate with investigators. Officers recovered a Glock 9mm belonging to one of the deceased and collected three firearms from security guards who were at the restaurant. The establishment was operating after hours and did not have a valid liquor license.

No suspects have been identified or arrested and the investigation remains active. Does anyone have information about the early-morning activity at Hidden Gem that could help investigators and the victims’ families?
