On March 30, 2022, 61-year-old Lela Louella Mae Lang-Dow was found dead inside her Forest Street home in River Rouge, Michigan, after a concerned employer requested a welfare check when she failed to show for a shift at an assisted living facility in Wyandotte. Responding officers discovered Lela had sustained fatal gunshot wounds.

The investigation focused on her 19-year-old grandson, Jordan Dow, who lived with her and was the last person known to have seen her alive. Family members described their relationship as good and said she had cared for him since he was young, with no apparent signs of conflict that would explain the violence. At the time of the incident Jordan was on a court-ordered tether for a prior criminal sexual conduct charge involving minors. The motive for the shooting remained unclear.

If anyone knew Lela or had information about who was in that Forest Street home on March 30, 2022, please share what you know.
