Alonzo Lee Jones-Hollie, 22, was found fatally shot in the driver’s seat of his car late the night of March 26, 2024. The discovery was made around 11 p.m. in the parking lot of Sauk Trail Pointe apartments on West Michigan Avenue near Second Avenue in Ypsilanti. Although Hollie was living in Belleville, his family had roots in the Ypsilanti area.

The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office led the investigation and asked the public for information about a fleeing vehicle or people seen running through nearby yards and for home surveillance footage. Authorities later charged Daniel Franklin with open murder, carrying a concealed weapon, and using a firearm during a felony in connection with Hollie’s death. At a preliminary hearing, a witness said the shooting followed an argument over a stolen vape pen and that Hollie had demanded the return of his e-cigarette before shots were fired inside the vehicle.

Franklin was already facing open murder and weapons charges in a separate 2022 homicide at the time of his arrest. Does anyone in the area have surveillance footage or observations from that night that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
