Raphael Bryant Scott-French was 27 and a father of five when he was shot and killed after a workplace dispute at the LG Energy Solution facility in Hazel Park, Michigan. The confrontation began inside the plant on the morning of October 21, 2022, between Scott-French and another employee; a team leader, Malik L. Dixon-Lynch, reportedly intervened until a supervisor ordered both workers to leave. About 45 minutes later, around 7 a.m., Scott-French returned in his car, approached Dixon-Lynch near a building exit, and was shot in the parking lot.

After the shooting, Dixon-Lynch allegedly pointed a 9mm handgun at another employee who was hiding but did not fire. Police say Dixon-Lynch admitted to the shooting and asserted self-defense, a claim authorities reported was not supported by the evidence. Dixon-Lynch, 26 and from Sterling Heights, was charged with second-degree murder, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and two counts of felony firearm, held without bond, and bound over for trial in Oakland County Circuit Court following a December 2022 preliminary hearing.

If anyone worked at the facility that morning or saw Scott-French in the parking lot, please share what was observed.
