On Monday, March 21, 2022, 20-year-old Ciera Wells was shot while driving with her mother and 11-year-old sister on Maddelein Street in Detroit. A single gunshot to her back caused her to lose control of the vehicle, which struck a tree. Officers arriving about 11:29 a.m. found her unresponsive; she was taken to a hospital and later died. The shooting came one day after her 20th birthday.

Investigators reported the shooting was apparently a case of mistaken identity: authorities say the shooter intended to target a vehicle of a similar make and color in retribution for an earlier incident. Later the same day police arrested 19-year-old Marion Johnson in connection with the killing. Marion Johnson was charged with first-degree murder, two counts of assault with intent to murder, and three counts of felony firearm, and was arraigned and remanded to jail pending further proceedings.

Did anyone in Detroit know Ciera or have information about the vehicle or events on Maddelein Street that morning?
