In the early hours of April 19, 2024, a shooting at a business complex on Henry Ruff Road in Inkster, Michigan, left 35-year-old Michael Bailey dead and a 33-year-old man wounded. Police found both men with gunshot injuries when they arrived around 1:00 a.m.; emergency responders were unable to save Bailey.

Bailey was a father and the proprietor of a local snack shop that sold dessert treats. His mother described him as loving and trying to build a better life for his family. The Michigan State Police took over the investigation, and Inkster Police Chief Tamika Jenkens said the department is committed to finding those responsible. As of the latest reports, no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified.

The motive remains unclear and the community continues to mourn. If anyone has information that could help identify those involved, please come forward to law enforcement.
