Jesse James Byars was 34 when his body was found in a field in Atlas Township, near Grand Blanc, Michigan, on the morning of Sunday, July 11, 2021. A Genesee County Sheriff’s Office investigation determined he had been shot and killed. His body was located on South Vassar Road after he had reportedly left Outdoor Adventures campground in Richfield Township around 10 p.m. on Saturday, July 10, driving a distinctive green Dodge pickup with a go-kart in the bed.

Investigators reported no signs of a struggle at the scene, noting that the lack of defensive evidence suggested he may have known his assailant and that the encounter was not confrontational. The Genesee County Sheriff’s detectives worked with the Michigan State Crime Lab and the FBI, and authorities publicly asked for anyone who had seen Byars or his truck that night to come forward. Family described Jesse as kind-hearted, someone who enjoyed working on small engines and foreign cars and loved spending time with friends and family; they also said he had been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome and a learning disability.

Does anyone have information about Jesse, the green Dodge pickup, or movements in the Atlas Township–Richfield Township area on the night of July 10 that could help investigators?
