Michael Artis, 56, was fatally shot during an afternoon robbery on September 12, 2021, in the parking lot of a liquor store on West Chicago Boulevard in Detroit. He had reportedly stopped to buy charcoal for a family cookout and was talking with someone he knew when an unknown male approached and shot him, then stole a chain from his neck.

The incident was captured on a Project Green Light surveillance camera. Witnesses and video show the shooter leaving with two other males; they fled in a gray Ford Escape believed to be a 2017 to 2019 model with tinted rear windows. Detroit police identified one suspect as the shooter, another as the driver, and a third who ran with them, and publicly asked for tips.

No arrests have been reported and the suspects remain unidentified. If anyone has information about the shooting, the vehicle, or the men seen in the surveillance footage, please share what is known with Detroit police or Crime Stoppers.
