On February 24, 2024, 33-year-old Dalance Stephens was shot and killed in broad daylight near the intersection of Julius and Webber streets in Saginaw, Michigan. First responders found him about 2:15 p.m. with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a local hospital but did not survive. Stephens, born August 14, 1990, was a Saginaw native remembered by family as playful and devoted to his two daughters, and his death was the city’s fourth homicide that year.

The Saginaw Police Department, aided by the Michigan State Police, opened a homicide investigation and appealed to the public for information. In the days and weeks afterward no arrests or suspects were publicly identified and the circumstances that led to the shooting remain unclear. If anyone knew Dalance, was in the area that afternoon, or has information that could help the investigation, please share what you know.
