Derrick Jamal Mack was an 18-year-old Black male who was fatally shot in a daytime drive-by in Minneapolis on Saturday, March 26, 2016. Just before noon he was walking east on 39th Avenue North near Colfax Avenue when someone fired from a white car. He ran into a nearby alley, collapsed, and was found deceased from multiple gunshot wounds.

Family and friends remembered the recent Osseo High School graduate as outgoing, funny, fiercely loyal, always smiling with an unforgettable laugh and a protective nature toward his family. Police asked the public for help locating a white Dodge Dynasty or similar car with damage to the left rear quarter panel. On April 8, 2016, Minneapolis police arrested two men; officers recovered a suspected murder weapon. Reports said one of the suspects later confessed that the shooting occurred after a brief struggle in the car during what was supposed to be a stereo transaction, but prosecutors subsequently dropped all charges amid doubts about the evidence, leaving the killing unresolved.

If anyone knew Derrick, saw the damaged white car, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
