William Lee Green, 36, was shot in the head in the early morning hours of August 14, 2021, in the Sweetwater parking lot on Congress Street near Brush Street in downtown Detroit. He was among a crowd of people around 1:45 a.m. when an unknown assailant produced a weapon and fired. Emergency responders took Green to a nearby hospital, where he died shortly after from his injuries.

Investigators treated the shooting as a targeted attack, saying the wound suggested the bullet was intended for Green. The crowded, nightlife-filled lot meant there were many potential witnesses; Green’s sister, Elisia Degreaffenried, urged anyone with information to come forward and suggested the shooter was someone familiar who may have had help from others in the crowd.

Did anyone in the Sweetwater area that night see something that could identify the shooter or those who may have assisted?
