On the night of August 9, 2021, 19-year-old Elvin Dubie Hollinger II of Flint, Michigan, was shot at a large gathering in Broome Park. The shooting began shortly after midnight and left six people wounded; Hollinger was one of two victims who died that night, the other being 18-year-old Alyssa Rose McMahon.

Hollinger, called Dubie by those close to him, worked at Albar Industries, loved sports—especially basketball and football—and enjoyed working on his car. His parents are Chereathe and Elvin Sr., and he had a fiancée. The Flint Police Department and Michigan State Police arrested 18-year-old Breon Walters on more than a dozen felony counts, including two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Hollinger and McMahon; as of early 2022 a trial date had not been set.

The community has held balloon releases and memorial services in Hollinger’s memory. If anyone who knew Dubie or has information about the shooting can help, please come forward.
