Paul Cataline, a 51-year-old white man, disappeared in late December 2020 after failing to return home or make contact with his family. On January 2, 2021, his body was found in a vacant field on Dupont Street on Flint’s north side, across from Max Brandon Park; he had been shot to death, and investigators treated the case as a homicide.

The investigation initially stalled in public view, with family appeals and rewards as detectives retraced his final hours. Attention later focused on two people: Yarnell Jaquan Jackson and Destanasia Latorrionna Hoyle. Prosecutors alleged Jackson was the shooter and that Hoyle aided and abetted him.

On September 25, 2023, a Genesee County judge bound both defendants over for trial. Jackson, then 27, faced amended charges including open murder and weapons offenses; Hoyle, 23, was ordered to stand trial on the same charges under an aiding and abetting theory.

If anyone knew Paul, saw him in late December 2020, or has information about who brought him to that field, please come forward.
