A welfare check by a family member in spring 2021 led police to a North Broad Street residence in Battle Creek, Michigan, where 61-year-old Daniel Murray was found fatally shot on May 1, 2021. Investigators believe the killing occurred earlier that week, between the late hours of Monday, April 26, and the early morning of April 27. An autopsy confirmed Murray sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

Evidence recovered from the scene and subsequent searches — including Murray’s stolen vehicle, music equipment, and a .45-caliber handgun — pointed to 48-year-old Monica Gordon, described as an acquaintance. Detectives said the connection between Gordon and Murray may have involved mutual drug use. On May 6, 2021, Gordon was arrested and arraigned on open murder and felony firearm charges; she was identified as a habitual offender and held in the Calhoun County Jail without bond. A judge later ordered her to stand trial after a preliminary exam.

If anyone knew Daniel Murray, his movements in late April 2021, or saw his vehicle or music equipment after April 26, can you share what you remember?
