Rashad Hawkins, 32, was shot and killed just after midnight on May 25, 2024, in Idlewild, Michigan. Deputies found him unresponsive in the road near the Chamber of Commerce; he was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators said the shooting stemmed from a prior dispute.

Hawkins, known to family as Ray, was a father of six with another child on the way and worked in construction doing roofing jobs in storm-damaged areas. His family remembered him as someone who loved R&B and dancing, thought of himself as a chef, and enjoyed making people laugh.

The investigation led to the identification and arrest of three people from Idlewild. On May 30, 2024, 18-year-old Marquavis Darnelle Cager was arraigned on open murder and carrying a concealed weapon; two others, Lee Sherman Williams and Naikita Nicole Dukes, were charged as accessories after the fact. Does anyone have information about the dispute that led to Rashad’s death or saw activity in Idlewild that night?
