On the evening of October 26, 2021, 59-year-old Yvette Sewell was returning to her longtime home on St. Clair Street in Detroit after 9 p.m. As she was about to enter her house she was ambushed and shot four times on her front porch; her body was left there and discovered about six hours later. The attacker or attackers fled, and witnesses reported a possible getaway vehicle described as a black pickup truck with a driver.

Yvette was a mother of nine and is remembered by her family as a cherished mother and grandmother. The Detroit Police investigated the homicide and Crime Stoppers offered a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest, but no arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved. A separate murder later claimed three members of her family; a 16-year-old has been charged as an adult in those killings, but that development does not resolve who killed Yvette.

Does anyone in Detroit remember seeing a black pickup truck near St. Clair Street on the night of October 26, 2021, or have any information about who might have ambushed her?
