On the afternoon of January 14, 2022, 29-year-old Eddie C. Matthews was shot and killed while sitting in a black Mercedes Benz in the parking lot of the Timeless Gallery rental hall on John R Road in Hazel Park, Michigan. The shooting occurred about 4:43 p.m.; another man, Nathan E. Jacobs, 29, was also fatally shot in the same vehicle. Both men, who were from Detroit, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene.

The memorial service inside the hall was for a man who had been killed on Christmas Day the previous year. Investigators described the attack as targeted and possibly retaliatory, and said two shooters who knew the victims fired on the car before fleeing in a vehicle. Three suspects were identified in the investigation: Michael Hicks, 40, Ricco Hicks, 32, and Keko Martin, 31, all from Detroit; Michael Hicks was arrested and charged on February 24, 2022, and held without bond. The investigation remains active.

If anyone attended the memorial or has information about the shooting or the whereabouts of Ricco Hicks, please share what you know.
