Michelle O’Neal was 55 when her body was found in a wooded area near Hyde Street and Helen Street in Detroit. Officers discovered her on the evening of July 12, 2020; she had suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators identified two acquaintances, Oscar DeAngelo Smith, then 31, and Temmika Burgess, then 41, as suspects. Authorities allege Smith and Burgess shot O’Neal and moved her body to the woods. Both were arrested on August 2, 2021, and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office charged Smith with first-degree murder, felon in possession of a firearm, and two counts of felony firearm. Burgess was charged with first-degree murder, felony firearm, tampering with evidence, and third-degree arson. A probable cause conference was set for August 20, 2021, with a preliminary examination scheduled for August 27, 2021.

Does anyone have information about Michelle’s last known movements or who may have seen her around Hyde and Helen Streets in July 2020?
