Stacie Ball, a 42-year-old mother of six from Detroit, was found shot multiple times in a room at the Travel Inn on Harper Road on Tuesday, October 18, 2022. Family members remembered her as a vibrant presence and the family comedian who had struggled with substance abuse while trying to turn her life around.

Weeks of worrying searches by friends and family ended when a friend noticed a heavy police presence at the motel and investigators discovered her body. The Detroit Police Department opened a homicide investigation; as of late 2022 no suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests announced. Her family made public pleas for answers, and some of her children reportedly learned of the killing via social media.

What information might help bring new leads in the investigation into Stacie’s death?
