Simeon Berry, a 28-year-old Black man and Bay City native, was fatally shot on June 11, 2024. Officers were called just after 8:30 p.m. to the 500 block near McKinley Avenue and North Jefferson Street, where they found him with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.
Witnesses reported seeing two male suspects leave the scene in a vehicle believed to be a silver SUV. During the shooting, a bullet struck an electrical box, forcing a power shutdown in the area while repairs were arranged. Police said the shooting did not appear random and asked anyone with information to come forward. No suspect names, arrests, charges, or court proceedings have been announced.
Berry’s obituary names him as born March 15, 1996, raised in Bay City, a Garber High School graduate, involved in church from an early age, and remembered for his smile, athletic youth and later music composition. Services were held at Gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church.
If anyone saw the incident, the vehicle, or knows anything that could help investigators, please share what you know.
