Anthony Wayne Wright Jr., 36, was found with a gunshot wound inside a vehicle on the 3200 block of South Washington Avenue in Lansing on August 27, 2022. He was taken to a local hospital but died of his injuries; his death was counted as the city’s 13th homicide that year.

A well-known barber, Wright was described as generous and often gave free haircuts to people experiencing homelessness. He was a husband and father of eight. His family had already suffered another loss earlier in 2022 when his 17-year-old daughter was killed by gun violence.

The Lansing Police Department is investigating the shooting. As of the latest reports, no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Anyone with information about what happened is asked to contact the police.
