Dajour Russ, 22, was shot and killed on Saturday, July 2, 2022, while making a food delivery in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood. He had been working his first day as a DoorDash driver and was delivering a KFC order at the Clement Kern Gardens Apartments on Bagley Street when a vehicle drove by and someone inside opened fire. Russ was first struck in the foot; the vehicle circled the block, returned, and fired multiple additional shots, fatally wounding him as he tried to take cover.

Police believe the return to the scene indicates Russ was targeted, though the motive is unknown. Investigators say they have video of the incident and have been looking for a dark-colored SUV connected to the shooting. No arrests have been announced as of a year after the killing. Family members, including his mother Tolanda Russ and his uncle, comedian James Jackson known as Jack Funny 313, describe him as loving, genuine, and a father figure to his younger siblings and continue to ask for help finding the person responsible.

If anyone has information about the dark-colored SUV or the shooting, please share tips with Detroit police or Crime Stoppers, which has offered a reward for information leading to an arrest.
