Steven Shelby, 41, was found dead inside an abandoned building on Detroit’s west side on January 20, 2022. He had recently moved from Tampa, Florida, to Detroit. His body was discovered by a realtor; he had been shot multiple times and was wrapped in a blanket and duct tape. Freezing temperatures delayed the autopsy because the medical examiner had to thaw the remains before identification, which was eventually made through fingerprints.

Shelby was a father of five and one of thirteen siblings; his family remained in Florida and were left devastated by the violence. Community activists held rallies and canvassed the neighborhood after the killing. No arrest has been announced and the case has gone cold; Crime Stoppers offered a reward for information that could lead to an arrest.

Did anyone in Detroit’s west side neighborhood at that time see something that could help bring Steven’s killers to justice?
