On the evening of September 8, 2021, 26-year-old Detroit resident Dajon Williams was shot while inside his vehicle on Grandville Street. After being struck, Williams drove to a nearby gas station on Joy Road seeking help. Officers arrived about 8:48 p.m. and found his vehicle blocking the station entrance; Williams was unresponsive and bleeding and was pronounced dead at the scene. McFall Brothers Funeral Home announced the death.

Investigators arrested a 17-year-old Detroit male in connection with the shooting. In October 2021 the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office charged the teen with one count of First-Degree Murder, Assault with Intent to Murder, Carrying with Unlawful Intent, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, and three counts of Felony Firearm. The suspect was arraigned in 36th District Court on October 23, 2021, with a Probable Cause Conference set for the following month.

Are there any witnesses or local residents who saw the shooting or Williams’ vehicle driving from Grandville Street to the gas station?
