Jermaine Fairley, a 28-year-old Black man and father of five from Detroit, was fatally shot in the back of the head after an altercation following a funeral and repast on January 27, 2024. His family reported him missing for nearly a week while the vehicle was later found burned with no sign of him inside.

An anonymous tip and the family’s pleas led investigators to locate Fairley’s body on February 2, 2024, in a sewer on the city’s west side near Tyler Avenue and Sussex Street; a gun was recovered with the body. The Detroit Police Department opened a homicide investigation and has identified two persons of interest whose identities have not been released; no arrests have been announced.

Anyone who knew Jermaine, was at the repast, or has information about the events that night is asked to come forward with tips that might help investigators.?
