Martini Owens Jr. was 24 when he was killed on the evening of July 5, 2020, at a Fourth of July block party on Detroit’s west side. The shooting occurred at the intersection of San Juan Drive and West McNichols Road after a vehicle pulled up and occupants opened fire into the crowd. Six people were shot; two victims, including Owens, died.

Owens was a father of three daughters. His parents, Dianna Sloan and Martini Owens Sr., held a candlelight vigil at the scene and described him as a good kid who had only been at the party a short time before the shooting. Detroit Police opened an investigation and asked the public for information; the case remains unsolved with no indicated arrests or identified suspects as of this account.

Did anyone attend that block party or have information about the vehicle or its occupants that could help move this case forward?
