Ariel Harris, 29, was shot and killed after a dispute over an elevator in Detroit’s Greektown neighborhood. The incident occurred in the early morning hours of November 27, 2022, inside the International Banquet Center. Harris, a father of two young boys, was reportedly letting a group of women enter an elevator when another man became agitated, an argument followed, and the man produced a firearm and shot Harris. Harris was transported to a hospital but died of his injuries.

The Detroit Police Department released surveillance footage of a person of interest and appealed to the public for tips. Family members made public pleas asking the suspect to turn himself in. Following tips from the community, authorities identified and located a man wanted in the case; on December 6, 2022, he was arrested in Ohio and was to be extradited to Michigan to face formal charges in Harris’s death.

If anyone was at the International Banquet Center that night or has information about the events in the elevator, please share what you know.
