On the morning of December 13, 2023, 20-year-old Dominic Sugin was shot on the 1500 block of Hoyt Street in Muskegon, Michigan. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries; he had celebrated his twentieth birthday less than two weeks earlier.

Investigators say Sugin was not the intended target. The shooters were aiming at another man who had been with Sugin and reportedly had an ongoing dispute with one of the assailants. Three men were identified in the case: DaShawn Bates, Eric Wesley, and Keviyon Nolan. Nolan was driving the vehicle; Bates and Wesley fired the shots that struck Sugin.

The three later entered pleas and were sentenced for their roles in the shooting. Dominic’s mother, Stephannie Sugin, addressed the court, speaking directly to the three men and to Nolan in particular, whom she described as being like a son to her and a brother to Dominic.

Did anyone in Muskegon know Dominic or the other men involved and have information to share?
