Jeffrey George Najor, 39, was found shot to death inside his pickup truck on the evening of Monday, July 18, 2022. His crashed truck had come to rest against a light pole in a vacant lot near the I-96 service drive and Braile Street on Detroit’s west side; the body was discovered at about 7 p.m. Investigators concluded Najor was shot while driving, lost control and crashed. Detectives noted no exterior bullet holes, a large amount of blood on both the driver and passenger sides, and signs consistent with a struggle, all suggesting an assailant may have been inside the vehicle with him when the shooting occurred and might have been injured during the encounter.

Najor lived in Wixom and was a husband and father of three. He worked in the supermarket industry, pursued real estate ventures, and was remembered by family as carefree, quick with impersonations, and fond of quoting movie lines. The Detroit Police Department has not announced any arrests or publicly identified suspects. Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $30,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest. If anyone knew Jeffrey or saw activity near I-96 and Braile Street on the evening of July 18, 2022, please come forward with information.
